CCM2 Gene

cerebral cavernous malformation 2

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the stress-activated p38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade. The protein interacts with SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (also known as SMURF1) via a phosphotyrosine binding domain to promote RhoA degradation. The protein is required for normal cytoskeletal structure, cell-cell interactions, and lumen formation in endothelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in cerebral cavernous malformations. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

CCM2L Gene

cerebral cavernous malformation 2-like

Predicted to be involved in heart morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including heart development; negative regulation of homotypic cell-cell adhesion; and positive regulation of fibroblast growth factor production.
