| Gene Symbol | PAPPA2 |
| Entrez Gene ID | 60676 |
| Full Name | pappalysin 2 |
| Synonyms | PAPP-A2,PAPP-E,PAPPE,PLAC3 |
| General protein information |
|
| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
| Genome | |
| Summary | This gene encodes a member of the pappalysin family of metzincin metalloproteinases. The encoded protein cleaves insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 and is thought to be a local regulator of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]. |
