Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 10911
Gene name Urotensin 2
Gene symbol UTS2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PRO1068U-IIUCN2UII
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p36.23
Summary This gene encodes a mature peptide that is an active cyclic heptapeptide absolutely conserved from lamprey to human. The active peptide acts as a vasoconstrictor and is expressed only in brain tissue. Despite the gene family name similarity, this gene is
