CCM2
Malcavernin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCM2 gene.[5][6]
Gene
[edit]The CCM2 gene contains 10 coding exons and an alternatively spliced exon 1B. This gene is located on chromosome 7p13.
Function
[edit]The function of malcavernin is to act as a scaffold for a variety of signaling complexes including p38 MAP Kinase.[7] This protein is also involved in regulating the cellular localization of the KRIT1 protein[8] and acts with the Rho Kinase signaling pathway to maintain normal blood vessel structure.[9][10]
Clinical significance
[edit]Loss of function mutations on CCM2 lead to the onset of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) illness.[11] Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations in the brain and spinal cord made of dilated capillary vessels.
