This gene encodes a member of the FXYD family of transmembrane proteins. This particular protein encodes the sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit gamma. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Renal Hypomagnesemia-2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Read-through transcripts have been observed between this locus and the upstream FXYD domain-containing ion transport regulator 6 (FXYD6, GeneID 53826) locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
A study in humans demonstrated that the FXYD2 was identified as an mRNA marker for kidney tissue identification, functioning by modulating the activity of the Na,K-ATPase [Lindenbergh et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-013-0895-7]. Subsequent research tested the FXYD2 as a potential urine-specific marker but found it exhibited limited sensitivity in that forensic application [van den Berge et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2015.10.011].
