motifs/domains	15 extracellular EGF-like domains and 3 extracellular laminin G-like domains, and tenth EGF-like domain might play an important role in CRB2 function in podocytes
	the Crb cytoplasmic tail domain, CCT domain, functioning as the binding site for PDZ domain of Sdt homologs
	a short 37 AAs intracellular C-terminus containing single-FERM and -PDZ protein-binding motifs, and a BRCT domain

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	may play a role during CNS development
	functions potentially as an inhibitory binding protein that is involved in the formation of a mature but inactive pool of the gamma-secretase complex
	essential for survival and differentiation of ESC-derived neural progenitors
	essential role for CRB2 in proper lamination of the photoreceptor layer and suppression of proliferation of late-born retinal progenitor cells
	potential role for CRB2 in suppressing proliferation of late retinal progenitors
	plays important roles in maintaining the adhesion, structural integrity, cell polarity, photoreceptor lamination, as well as controlling the differentiation of appropriate numbers of Müller glia cells
	inhibits retinal progenitor proliferation in the late developing retina
	CRB1 and CRB2 suppress late progenitor pool expansion by regulating multiple proliferative signaling pathways

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	deletion of Crb2 in the murine retina results in early retinal disorganization leading to severe and progressive retinal degeneration with a concomitant visual loss that mimics retinitis pigmentosa due to mutations in the CRB1 gene
	severe abnormalities appearing in Crb2-deficient mice embryos at late-gastrulation
