Lesson plan
ARMS2
Age-related maculopathy susceptibility protein 2 is a mitochondrial protein that in humans is encoded by the ARMS2 gene. The ARMS2 protein is closely linked to the ARMS2 gene. The ARMS2 gene is a genetic risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The exact biological mechanism of the ARMS2 protein is not fully understood, but studies of protein transport and variants have indicated that the protein plays a role in processes that impact the retina.
