GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TMEFF2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CT120.2, HPP1, TENB2, TPEF, TR
Description
Transmembrane protein with EGF-like and two follistatin-like domains 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the tomoregulin family of transmembrane proteins. This protein has been shown to function as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor depending on the cellular context and may regulate prostate cancer cell invasion. Multiple soluble forms of this protein have been identified that arise from both an alternative splice variant and ectodomain shedding. Additionally, this gene has been found to be hypermethylated in multiple cancer types. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
