CLONING

By searching databases for sequences similar to atlastin-1 (ATL1; 606439), Zhu et al. (2003) identified atlastin-2 (ATL2). The deduced 579-amino acid protein contains GTP-binding motifs in its N-terminal half and 2 transmembrane domains in its C-terminal half.

MAPPING

Zhu et al. (2003) stated that the ATL2 gene maps to chromosome 2p22.3. ... More on the omim web site
