About SPPL2B

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:2,328,684-2,355,095 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 13.2), duodenum (RPKM 10.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the GXGD family of aspartic proteases. The GXGD proteases are transmembrane proteins with two conserved catalytic motifs localized within the membrane-spanning regions. This Enzyme localizes to endosomes, lysosomes, and the plasma membrane. It cleaves the transmembrane domain of tumor necrosis factor alpha to release the intracellular domain, which triggers cytokine expression in the innate and adaptive immunity pathways. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
