Tweety family member 2

Tweety family member 2 (Ttyh2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TTYH2 gene. It is a member of the Tweety family of proteins, which are large conductance chloride channels. The Tweety family consists of three members: TTYH1, TTYH2, and TTYH3.

Function[edit | edit source]

The TTYH2 protein is a member of the Tweety family of proteins, which are thought to function as large conductance chloride channels. The exact function of TTYH2 is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in cellular physiology and homeostasis.

Gene[edit | edit source]

The TTYH2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 17 at position 24.2. It spans a length of approximately 23.6 kilobases and consists of 7 exons.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Alterations in the TTYH2 gene have been associated with a variety of neurological disorders, including epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases. However, further research is needed to fully understand the role of TTYH2 in these conditions.
