Proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRRT2 gene. [5]
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein containing a proline-rich domain in its N-terminal half. Studies in mice suggest that it is predominantly expressed in brain and spinal cord in embryonic and postnatal stages. [5]
Mutations in this gene are associated with a number of movement disorders, most commonly paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia where approximately 1/3 of cases will harbor mutations in PRRT2. [6] [7] It has also been associated with episodic ataxias, and in particular in combination with various types of epilepsy. [8] Mutations in PRRT2 lead also to hemiplegic migraine. [9]
