HGNC name calsequestrin 2 (cardiac muscle)
HGNC id 1513
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) VTSIP2
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional   deletion    
causes sarcoplasmic reticulum volume increase, premature Ca2+ release, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
constitutional       gain of function
in the thyroid of patients with Graves Hyperthyroidism may lead to the production of autoantibodies and sensitized T-lymphocytes, which cross-react with calsequestrin in the extraocular muscle of patients who develop ophthalmopathy
constitutional     --over  
enhances hypertrophy of neonatal cardiomyocytes, and the perinuclear enriched form of CASQ2 produces a more pronounced effect compared with CASQ2-WT, consistent with their differential contributions to nuclear Ca2+ levels
