Official gene symbol | RARRES2 |
Full name | retinoic acid receptor responder (tazarotene induced) 2 |
Aliases | ,HP10433,TIG2, |
Gene summary | This gene encodes a secreted chemotactic protein that initiates chemotaxis via the ChemR23 G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane domain ligand. Expression of this gene is upregulated by the synthetic retinoid tazarotene and occurs in a wide variety of tissues. The active protein has several roles, including that as an adipokine, and is truncated on both termini from the proprotein. [provided by RefSeq] |
