Tafa2 - TAFA chemokine like family member 2 Gene

Also Known as Sam2; Tafa-2; Fam19a2; 6330575M02; FAM19A2 TAFA-2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 268354

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.
