Gene information for PLP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5355
Official gene symbolPLP2
Full nameproteolipid protein 2 (colonic epithelium-enriched)
Aliases,A4,A4LSB,MGC126187,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an integral membrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum in colonic epithelial cells. The encoded protein can multimerize and may function as an ion channel. A polymorphism in the promoter of this gene may be linked to an increased risk of X-linked mental retardation. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq]
