About TAFA2

Cytogenetic location: 12q14.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:61,708,273-62,260,034 (from NCBI)

This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 126 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 7.8), placenta (RPKM 1.2) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the TAFA family which is composed of five highly homologous genes that encode small secreted proteins. These proteins contain conserved cysteine residues at fixed positions, and are distantly related to MIP-1alpha, a member of the CC-chemokine family. The TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain, and are postulated to function as brain-specific chemokines or neurokines, that act as regulators of immune and nervous cells.
