Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 27433
Gene name Torsin family 2 member A
Gene symbol TOR2A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
TORP1
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q34.11
Summary This gene encodes a member of the AAA family of adenosine triphosphatases with similarity to Clp proteases and heat shock proteins. Alternative splicing at this locus results in the translation of multiple isoforms of the encoded protein, some of which co
