Also known as KIAA0602
Summary
PACS2 (phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2, HGNC:23794) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q32.33, encoding Phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (Q86VP3). Multifunctional sorting protein that controls the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria communication, including the apposition of mitochondria with the ER and ER homeostasis.
Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion homeostasis; mitochondrion-endoplasmic reticulum membrane tethering; and protein localization to plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to phagophore assembly site. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrion. Implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 66.

Function. Multifunctional sorting protein that controls the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria communication, including the apposition of mitochondria with the ER and ER homeostasis. In addition, in response to apoptotic inducer, translocates BIB to mitochondria, which initiates a sequence of events including the formation of mitochondrial truncated BID, the release of cytochrome c, the activation of caspase-3 thereby causing cell death. May also be involved in ion channel trafficking, directing acidic cluster-containing ion channels to distinct subcellular compartments.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with BID and PKD2. Interacts with SIRT1. Interacts with HDAC1. Interacts with TRPV1. Interacts with WDR37. (Microbial infection) Interacts with HIV-1 Nef.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Broadly expressed, with greatest levels in skeletal muscle followed by heart, brain, pancreas and testis.
Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 66 (DEE66) [MIM:618067] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE66 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by onset of seizures in first days or weeks of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the PACS family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 31 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
