Gene information for MBTPS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51360
Official gene symbolMBTPS2
Full namemembrane-bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2
Aliases,FLJ32174,IFAP,S2P,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a intramembrane zinc metalloprotease, which is essential in development. This protease functions in the signal protein activation involved in sterol control of transcription and the ER stress response. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia (IFAP syndrome); IFAP syndrome has been quantitatively linked to a reduction in cholesterol homeostasis and ER stress response.
