Gene information for RENBP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5973
Official gene symbolRENBP
Full namerenin binding protein
Aliases,RBP,RNBP,
Gene summaryThe gene product inhibits renin activity by forming a dimer with renin, a complex known as high molecular weight renin. The encoded protein contains a leucine zipper domain, which is essential for its dimerization with renin. The gene product can catalyze the interconversion of N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylmannosamine, indicating that it is a GlcNAc 2-epimerase. Transcript variants utilizing alternative promoters have been described in the literature. [provided by RefSeq]
