Tweety family member 2

Tweety family member 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the TTYH2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel, and may play a role in kidney tumorigenesis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
