FXYD2 Gene

FXYD2 Specific Facts:

• The official gene name that has been approved by the HGNC is - FXYD domain containing ion transport regulator 2.
• FXYD2 is also known as the gamma subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, and regulates the properties of that enzyme.
• Although the Na,K-ATPase does not depend on the gamma subunit to be functional, it is thought that the gamma subunit modulates the enzyme's activity by inducing ion channel activity.

FXYD2 General Facts:

• This gene encodes a member of a family of small membrane proteins that share a 35-amino acid signature sequence domain, beginning with the sequence PFXYD.
• The approved human gene nomenclature for the family is FXYD-domain containing ion transport regulator.
