gene geneOn this page
Summary
JAG2 (jagged canonical Notch ligand 2, HGNC:6189) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q32.33, encoding Protein jagged-2 (Q9Y219). Putative Notch ligand involved in the mediation of Notch signaling.
The Notch signaling pathway is an intercellular signaling mechanism that is essential for proper embryonic development. Members of the Notch gene family encode transmembrane receptors that are critical for various cell fate decisions. The protein encoded by this gene is one of several ligands that activate Notch and related receptors. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle and to a lesser extent in pancreas. Very low expression in brain, lung, liver and kidney.
Disease relevance. Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 27 (LGMDR27) [MIM:619566] An autosomal recessive muscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness most prominent in the proximal lower limb and axial muscles, and resulting in walking difficulty or loss of ambulation. Additional more variable features include neck muscle weakness, scoliosis, and joint contractures. Some affected individuals manifest impaired intellectual development or speech delay, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac arrhythmia. Muscle biopsy shows non-specific dystrophic changes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
