ADP-ribosylhydrolase 2 explained

(ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase 2 (ARH2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ADPRHL1 gene.[1]

Function

Proteins of the ADP-ribosylhydrolase family are typically associated with the reversal of ADP-ribosylation a posttranslational modification used to regulate protein function. However, ARH2 misses catalytically important residues and is predicted to be catalytically inactive.[2] ARH2 is a cardiac-specific protein and expressed exclusively in the developing heart of vertebrates. Gene loss and loss-of-function mutations are associated with defective heart chamber growth and myofibrillogenesis.[3]
