CRB2

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are components of the Crumbs cell polarity complex. In mammals, members of this family are thought to play a role in many cellular processes in early embryonic development. A similar protein in Drosophila determines apicobasal polarity in embryonic epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 9, and with ventriculomegaly with cystic kidney disease.
