'''Fascin-2''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''FSCN2'' [[gene]].<ref name="pmid10234509">{{cite journal |vauthors=Bardien-Kruger S, Greenberg J, Tubb B, Bryan J, Queimado L, Lovett M, Ramesar RS | title = Refinement of the RP17 locus for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, construction of a YAC contig and investigation of the candidate gene retinal fascin | journal = Eur J Hum Genet | volume = 7 | issue = 3 | pages = 332–8 |date=Jun 1999 | pmid = 10234509 | doi = 10.1038/sj.ejhg.5200302 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: FSCN2 fascin homolog 2, actin-bundling protein, retinal (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=25794}}</ref>
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.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: FSCN2 fascin homolog 2, actin-bundling protein, retinal (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=25794}}</ref>
