NELL2 - neural EGFL like 2 Gene
Also Known as NRP2
Species: Homo sapiens
About NELL2
This gene has 20 transcripts (splice variants), 240 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 55.4), duodenum (RPKM 9.0) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a glycoprotein containing several von Willebrand factor C domains and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. The encoded protein acts as a homotrimer and is found in the cytoplasm. Several variants encoding a few different isoforms exist, and at least one isoform appears to be a secreted protein. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein plays a role in neural cell growth and differentiation as well as in oncogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
