FLVCR2
Description
The FLVCR2 (FLVCR choline and putative heme transporter 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.
FLVCR2 is a protein encoded by the FLVCR2 gene in humans. It belongs to the major facilitator superfamily and acts as a calcium transporter. Unlike FLVCR1, FLVCR2 doesn't bind to feline leukemia virus subgroup C envelope protein. FLVCR2 is linked to the development of brain vascular endothelial cells, as mutations in this gene have been associated with proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome.
FLVCR2 is also known as C14orf58, CCT, EPV, FLVCRL14q, MFSD7C, PVHH, SLC49A2.
