This gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.,FSCN2,RFSN,RP30,fascin-2,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Cytoskeleton,Microfilaments,Neuroscience,FSCN2
