Gene information for SDC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6383
Official gene symbolSDC2
Full namesyndecan 2
Aliases,HSPG,HSPG1,SYND2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family. The syndecans mediate cell binding, cell signaling, and cytoskeletal organization and syndecan receptors are required for internalization of the HIV-1 tat protein. The syndecan-2 protein functions as an integral membrane protein and participates in cell proliferation, cell migration and cell-matrix interactions via its receptor for extracellular matrix proteins. Altered syndecan-2 expression has been detected in several different tumor types. [provided by RefSeq]
