Full name | | proteolipid protein 2 (colonic epithelium-enriched) |
Aliases | | ,A4,A4LSB,MGC126187, |
Gene summary | | This 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] |
