PLEK2 - pleckstrin 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About PLEK2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 197 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in adrenal (RPKM 16.6), small intestine (RPKM 14.3) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene associates with membrane-bound phosphatidylinositols generated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The encoded protein then interacts with the actin Cytoskeleton to induce cell spreading. In conjunction with Complement Component 1, q subcomponent, B chain (C1QB), this gene shows an increase in expression in melanoma cells and may serve as an accurate biomarker for the disease.
