Gene information for NRP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8828
Official gene symbolNRP2
Full nameneuropilin 2
Aliases,MGC126574,NP2,NPN2,PRO2714,VEGF165R2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the neuropilin family of receptor proteins. The encoded transmembrane protein binds to SEMA3C protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3C} and SEMA3F protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3F}, and interacts with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This protein may play a role in cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
