RHBDL2 - rhomboid like 2 Gene
Also Known as RRP2
Species: Homo sapiens
About RHBDL2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 9.9), skin (RPKM 6.4) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the rhomboid family of integral membrane proteins. This family contains proteins that are related to Drosophila rhomboid protein. Members of this family are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and are thought to function as intramembrane serine proteases. The encoded protein is thought to release soluble growth factors by proteolytic cleavage of certain membrane-bound substrates, including Ephrin B2 and ephrin B3. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
