About GKN2

Cytogenetic location: 2p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:68,945,232-68,952,893 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 126 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Restricted expression toward stomach (RPKM 1463.9).

Summary

The secretory protein encoded by this gene is produced in gastric surface mucous cells, where it can bind trefoil factor family peptide 1 or gastrokine-1. This gene may be a tumor suppressor gene, as its expression is markedly decreased in gastric Cancer tissues. The encoded protein interacts with gastrokine-1 and regulates homeostasis of the gastric mucosa. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
