Gene: ATAD2

Alternate names for this Gene: ANCCA|CT137|PRO2000

Gene Summary: A large family of ATPases has been described, whose key feature is that they share a conserved region of about 220 amino acids that contains an ATP-binding site. The proteins that belong to this family either contain one or two AAA (ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities) domains. AAA family proteins often perform chaperone-like functions that assist in the assembly, operation, or disassembly of protein complexes. The protein encoded by this gene contains two AAA domains, as well as a bromodomain.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q24.13

Description of this Gene: ATPase family AAA domain containing 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
