The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to resemble certain short C-terminal isoforms of dystrophin and dystrophin-related protein 1 (DRP1 or utrophin). DRP2 is expressed principally in the brain and spinal cord. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010] Annotation information Note: DRP2 (Gene ID: 1821) and DPYSL2 (Gene ID: 1808) share the DRP2 symbol/alias in common. DRP2 is a widely used alternative name for dihydropyrimidinase like 2 (DPYSL2), which can be confused with the official symbol for dystrophin related protein 2 (DRP2).
