LEFTY2 Gene

left-right determination factor 2

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which plays a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. The protein may also play a role in endometrial bleeding. Mutations in this gene have been associated with left-right axis malformations, particularly in the heart and lungs. Some types of infertility have been associated with dysregulated expression of this gene in the endometrium. This gene is closely linked to both a related family member and a related pseudogene. This gene encodes multiple isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

LEFTY3 Gene

left-right determination factor 2 pseudogene

LEFTY1 Gene

left-right determination factor 1

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which plays a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. This gene is closely linked to both a related family member and a related pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

LVNC2 Gene

noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium, familial isolated, autosomal dominant 2

CIROP Gene

ciliated left-right organizer metallopeptidase

Predicted to enable peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in establishment of left/right asymmetry. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

CIROZ Gene

ciliated left-right organizer protein containing ZP-N domains

Predicted to act upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry and heart development. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

RHDNS1 Gene

Renal hypodysplasia, nonsyndromic, 1

PTCPRN Gene

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with papillary renal neoplasia

AABT Gene

Beta-amino acids, renal transport of

RFH1 Gene

Renal failure, progressive, with hypertension

GLYS1 Gene

glycosuria 1, renal

PRCC Gene

papillary renal cell carcinoma (translocation-associated)

This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing. Chromosomal translocations (X;1)(p11;q21) that result in fusion of this gene to TFE3 (GeneID 7030) have been associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma. A PRCC-TFE3 fusion protein is expressed in affected carcinomas and is likely associated with altered gene transactivation. This fusion protein has also been associated with disruption of the cell cycle.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

DIRC1 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 1

Disruption of DIRC1 by translocation is associated with familial clear cell renal cancer. Overexpression of DIRC1 is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in gastric cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]

DIRC3 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 3

DIRC2 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 2

This gene encodes a membrane-bound protein from the major facilitator superfamily of transporters. Disruption of this gene by translocation has been associated with haplo-insufficiency and renal cell carcinomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DPEP1 Gene

dipeptidase 1 (renal)

The protein encoded by this gene is a kidney membrane enzyme involved in the metabolism of glutathione and other similar proteins by dipeptide hydrolysis. The encoded protein is known to regulate leukotriene activity by catalyzing the conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. This protein uses zinc as a cofactor and acts as a disulfide-linked homodimer. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2020]

PRR5 Gene

proline rich 5 (renal)

This gene encodes a protein with a proline-rich domain. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 22 reported to contain a tumor suppressor gene that may be involved in breast and colorectal tumorigenesis. The protein is a component of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), and it regulates platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor beta expression and PDGF signaling to Akt and S6K1. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in transcripts encoding different isoforms. Read-through transcripts from this gene into the downstream Rho GTPase activating protein 8 (ARHGAP8) gene also exist, which led to the original description of PRR5 and ARHGAP8 being a single gene.

torticollis, keloids, cryptorchidism and renal dysplasia
