The nuclear pore complex protein, Ran-binding protein 2 (Ran BP-2 or Nup358), contains four Ran-binding domains. Ran BP-2 is a large scaffold cyclophilin-related protein expressed in photoreceptor cells. Ran BP-2 localization at cytoplasmic fibrils emanating from the nuclear pore complex and interaction with the Ran-GTPase support its role in nucleocytoplasmic transport processes. In humans, the Ran BP-2 gene is partially duplicated in a gene cluster and lies in a hot spot for recombination on chromosome 2q. This genetic heterogeneity renders further significance of this genomic region in human disease due to its possible involvement in genetically linked disorders such as juvenile nephronophthisis, congenital hepatic fibrosis and chorioretinal dysplasia.

Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. The majority of zinc-finger proteins contain a Krüppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which is thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. ZNF786 (zinc finger protein 786) is a 782 amino acid protein that belongs to the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family and is thought to function in transcriptional regulation. Localizing to nucleus, ZNF786 contains sixteen C2H2-type zinc fingers, a single KRAB domain and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 7q36.1.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the BTG/Tob family. This family has structurally related proteins that appear to have antiproliferative properties. This encoded protein might play a role in neurogenesis in the central nervous system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

This gene encodes a member of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins that contain two pore-forming P domains. The encoded protein is an outwardly rectifying channel that is sensitive to changes in extracellular pH and is inhibited by extracellular acidification. Also referred to as an acid-sensitive potassium channel, it is activated by the anesthetics halothane and isoflurane. Although three transcripts are detected in northern blots, there is currently no sequence available to confirm transcript variants for this gene.

Fibrinogen-like 1 is a member of the fibrinogen family. This protein is homologous to the carboxy terminus of the fibrinogen beta- and gamma- subunits which contains the four conserved cysteines of fibrinogens and fibrinogen related proteins. However, this protein lacks the platelet-binding site, cross-linking region and a thrombin-sensitive site which are necessary for fibrin clot formation. This protein may play a role in the development of hepatocellular carcinomas. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein exist for this gene.

This gene encodes a nuclear distribution protein that plays an essential role in mitosis and cytokinesis. The encoded protein is involved in spindle formation during mitosis and in microtubule organization during cytokinesis. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosome 2.

BCL7B shows high homology to the BCL7A protein, which is known to be directly involved in a complex chromosomal translocation in Burkitt lymphoma cell lines. The specific function of BCL7B has not yet been determined. However, it may play a role in lung tumor development or progression. The BCL7B gene is located at a chromosomal region commonly deleted in the congenital disorder, Williams syndrome.

Nuclear receptor that binds and is activated by variety of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Transcription factor that activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of potentially harmful xenobiotics, drugs and endogenous compounds. Activated by the antibiotic rifampicin and various plant metabolites, such as hyperforin, guggulipid, colupulone, and isoflavones. Response to specific ligands is species-specific. Activated by naturally occurring steroids, such as pregnenolone and progesterone. Binds to a response element in the promoters of the CYP3A4 and ABCB1/MDR1 genes.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is classified with the enterovirus group of the Picornaviridae family. Many other picornaviruses cause human disease, including polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and rhinoviruses (cold viruses). The term hepatitis A (HA) or type A viral hepatitis has replaced all previous designations: infectious hepatitis, epidemic hepatitis, epidemic jaundice, catarrhal jaundice, infectious icterus, Botkins disease, and MS-1 hepatitis.

Proline oxidase catalyses the conversion of proline to pyrroline-5-carboxylate, or P5C during the degradation of the amino acid Proline. Defects in PRODH are the cause of hyperprolinemia type 1, a disorder characterised by elevated serum proline levels. Defective PRODH may be involved in the psychiatric and behavioral phenotypes associated with the 22q11 velocardiofacial and DiGeorge syndrome and may be associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia 4 (SCZD4).

PDZK7, also known as PDZD7, is a 517 amino acid protein that contains two PDZ (DHR) domains. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 10q24.31, PDZK7 is conserved in dog, mouse and rat, and exists as three alternatively spliced isoforms. PDZK7 is known to interact with Harmonin, MASS1, USH1G and Usherin. Localizing to nucleus, PDZK7 is expressed in retinal pigment epithelium and inner ear. Biallelic inactivation of PDZK7 can cause non-syndromic hearing impairment and chromosomal aberrations, which are linked to non-syndromic sensorineural deafness. PDZK7 mutations are also linked to Usher syndrome, which is characterized by retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural deafness, and Alzheimer disease. The gene that encodes PDZK7 maps to human chromosome 10q24.31.

The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory protein involved in mitosis. The gene product complexes with p34(cdc2) to form the maturation-promoting factor (MPF). Two alternative transcripts have been found, a constitutively expressed transcript and a cell cycle-regulated transcript, that is expressed predominantly during G2/M phase. The different transcripts result from the use of alternate transcription initiation sites. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (pRB) protein binds with many other proteins. In various human cancers, pRB suppresses cellular proliferation and is inactivated. Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation regulates the activity of pRB. Retinoblastoma binding protein 6 binds to underphosphorylated but not phosphorylated pRB. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been found for this gene.

The complement factor C3 consists of an alpha and a beta chain. C3 is a central factor in the complement cascade. It is central to the alternative pathway that leads to the C3 convertase C3bBb. The classical mannose binding lectin activation pathway leads to the C3 convertase C4b2a. These convertases cleave C3 resulting in C3a and C3b. Further degradation leads to the formation of the alpha chain products C3d, C3g and C3c. C3 is an acute phase protein that is produced by a wide range of tissues, including renal epithelial cells and hepatocytes.

NPC2 is a secreted protein mapping against gene 14q24.3 (1,2). NPC2 regulates the lipid composition of sperm membranes during maturation in the epididymis(1,2). Mutations in the NPC2 gene may cause Nieman-Pick type C2 disease and frontal lobe atrophy (1,2,3). Nieman-Pick type C2 is a fatal hereditary disease characterized by defective lysosome release of cholesterol (3). The disease is caused by HE1 deficiency, a lysosmal protein proven to be undetectable in fibroblasts from NPC2 patients (3). This differentiates NPC2 from NPC1, as NPC1 has HE1 protein present (3).
