TMEFF2
The Transmembrane protein with an EGF-like and two follistatin-like domains 2 (TMEFF2) gene In biology, the word gene (from , ; "... Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a b ... is located on chromosome 2q32-q33 and encodes a 374-residue long single polypeptide, type-I transmembrane proteoglycan. According to the HUGO gene nomenclature committee, the aliases of TMEFF2 include,HPP1, Tomoregulin (TR), Transmembrane protein TENB2 (TENB2), Cancer/testis antigen family 120, member 2 (CT120.2) and Transmembrane protein containing EGF and follistatin domains (TPEF). TMEFF2 was identified and characterized by at least five independent groups within the time span of approximately a year. TMEFF2 is proteolytically shed from the cell surface. The reported functions of TMEFF2 span across a wide range of physiological and patholo ...
