DENND2B - DENN domain containing 2B Gene

Also Known as ST5; HTS1; p126

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 6764

Summary

This gene was identified by its ability to suppress the tumorigenicity of Hela cells in nude mice. The protein encoded by this gene contains a C-terminal region that shares similarity with the Rab 3 family of small GTP binding proteins. This protein preferentially binds to the SH3 domain of c-Abl kinase, and acts as a regulator of MAPK1/ERK2 kinase, which may contribute to its ability to reduce the tumorigenic phenotype in cells. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms are identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Ubiquitous expression in endometrium (RPKM 30.7), testis (RPKM 16.0) and 24 other tissues.
