DiseaseAuriculocondylar syndrome 2 (ARCND2) [MIM:614669]: A craniofacial malformation syndrome characterized by variable mandibular anomalies, including mild to severe micrognathia, temporomandibular joint ankylosis, cleft palate, and a characteristic ear malformation that consists of separation of the lobule from the external ear, giving the appearance of a question mark (question-mark ear). Other frequently described features include prominent cheeks, cupped and posteriorly rotated ears, preauricular tags, and microstomia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22560091}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionThe production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. This form has a role in retina signal transduction.
SimilarityContains 1 C2 domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00041}.
SimilarityContains 1 PI-PLC X-box domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00270}.
SimilarityContains 1 PI-PLC Y-box domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00271}.
Tissue SpecificityPreferentially expressed in the retina.
