SCRT2
protein-codingscratch family transcriptional repressor 2, the group of Zinc fingers C2H2-type|SNAG transcriptional repressors
Gene summary
Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of neuron migration. Predicted to be located in chromatin. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_033129.4. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
