Gene information for EDA2R (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID60401
Official gene symbolEDA2R
Full nameectodysplasin A2 receptor
Aliases,EDA-A2R,EDAA2R,TNFRSF27,XEDAR,
Gene summaryEDA-A1 and EDA-A2 are two isoforms of ectodysplasin that are encoded by the anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) gene. Mutations in EDA give rise to a clinical syndrome characterized by loss of hair, sweat glands, and teeth. The protein encoded by this gene specifically binds to EDA-A2 isoform. This protein is a type III transmembrane protein of the TNFR (tumor necrosis factor receptor) superfamily, and contains 3 cysteine-rich repeats and a single transmembrane domain but lacks an N-terminal signal peptide. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but some variants lack sufficient support. [provided by RefSeq]
