Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Metazoa › Chordata › Craniata › Vertebrata › Euteleostomi › Mammalia › Eutheria › Euarchontoglires › Primates › Haplorrhini › Catarrhini › Hominidae › Homo

Protein attributes

Sequence length	492 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Acts as an actin bundling protein. May play a pivotal role in photoreceptor cell-specific events, such as disk morphogenesis.
Tissue specificity	Localized specifically in the outer and inner segments of the photoreceptor cells in the retina.
Involvement in disease	Defects in FSCN2 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 30 (RP30) [MIM:607921]. RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP30 inheritance is autosomal dominant.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the fascin family.
