Entrez gene ID | | 5973 |
Official gene symbol | | RENBP |
Full name | | renin binding protein |
Aliases | | ,RBP,RNBP, |
Gene summary | | The 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] |
