Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 94015
Gene name Tweety family member 2
Gene symbol TTYH2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C17orf29
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q25.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel, and may play a role in kidney tumorige
