RAI2
Description
The RAI2 (retinoic acid induced 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.
Retinoic acid-induced protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAI2 gene. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. The specific function of this intronless, retinoic acid-induced gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been suggested to play a role in development. Localization of this gene designates it to be a candidate for diseases such as Nance-Horan syndrome, sensorineural deafness, non-specific X-linked mental retardation, oral-facial-digital syndrome, and Fried syndrome.
The specific function of RAI2, an intronless gene induced by retinoic acid, is not yet fully understood. However, it is believed to be involved in developmental processes. Its location on the X chromosome makes it a potential candidate gene for several genetic disorders, including Nance-Horan syndrome, sensorineural deafness, non-specific X-linked mental retardation, oral-facial-digital syndrome, and Fried syndrome.
