Gene information for DPM2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8818
Official gene symbolDPM2
Full namedolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase polypeptide 2, regulatory subunit
Aliases,FLJ80013,MGC111193,MGC21559,
Gene summaryDolichol-phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) serves as a donor of mannosyl residues on the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Lack of Dol-P-Man results in defective surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins. Dol-P-Man is synthesized from GDP-mannose and dolichol-phosphate on the cytosolic side of the ER by the enzyme dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase. The protein encoded by this gene is a hydrophobic protein that contains 2 predicted transmembrane domains and a putative ER localization signal near the C terminus. This protein associates with DPM1 in vivo and is required for the ER localization and stable expression of DPM1 and also enhances the binding of dolichol-phosphate to DPM1. [provided by RefSeq]
