Gene

EMP2

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
EMP2
Name
epithelial membrane protein 2
Synonyms
  • EMP-2
  • MGC9056
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables integrin binding activity and kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including bleb assembly; embryo implantation; and protein localization to cell surface. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell-matrix adhesion and positive regulation of integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 10.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a tetraspan protein of the PMP22/EMP family. The encoded protein regulates cell membrane composition. It has been associated with various functions including endocytosis, cell signaling, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell adhesion, cell death, cholesterol homeostasis, urinary albumin excretion, and embryo implantation. It is known to negatively regulate caveolin-1, a scaffolding protein which is the main component of the caveolae plasma membrane invaginations found in most cell types. Through activation of PTK2 it positively regulates vascular endothelial growth factor A. It also modulates the function of specific integrin isomers in the plasma membrane. Up-regulation of this gene has been linked to cancer progression in multiple different tissues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with nephrotic syndrome type 10 (NPHS10).
