ANK2

Cardiovascular System · Cardiac Electrophysiology & Conduction

Can an ANK2 result explain an irregular heartbeat?

ANK2 makes ankyrin-B, a scaffold that organizes proteins at cell membranes. Its role in cell signaling makes it biologically relevant, but a particular rhythm disorder needs evidence for the exact variant and condition rather than the gene name alone.

Common Gene Name
ankyrin 2
NCBI Gene ID
287
