COG2

Conserved oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the COG2 is_associated_with::gene.

Model organisms
is_associated_with::Model organisms have been used in the study of COG2 function. A conditional is_associated_with::knockout mouse line, called Cog2tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi was generated as part of the is_associated_with::International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.

Male and female animals underwent a standardized is_associated_with::phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty five were carried out on is_associated_with::mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: no is_associated_with::homozygous is_associated_with::mutant mice survived until is_associated_with::weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on is_associated_with::heterozygous mutant adult mice; no additional significant abnormalities were observed in these animals.

Interactions
COG2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::COG4 and is_associated_with::COG3.
