Gene information for SCARB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID950
Official gene symbolSCARB2
Full namescavenger receptor class B, member 2
Aliases,AMRF,CD36L2,HLGP85,LIMPII,SR-BII,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Studies of the similar protein in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Deficiency of the similar protein in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq]
