Gene: HOOK2

Alternate names for this Gene: HK2

Gene Summary: Hook proteins are cytosolic coiled-coil proteins that contain conserved N-terminal domains, which attach to microtubules, and more divergent C-terminal domains, which mediate binding to organelles. The Drosophila Hook protein is a component of the endocytic compartment.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.13

Description of this Gene: hook microtubule tethering protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
