LHFPL2
Description
The LHFPL2 (LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
Lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 2 protein is a protein encoded by the LHFPL2 gene in humans. It belongs to the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is part of the tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding gene superfamily. Mutations in some LHFP-like genes cause deafness in humans and mice, while another LHFP-like gene is fused with a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated lipoma. Alternative splicing of the LHFPL2 gene has been observed, but its biological significance is unclear.
LHFPL2 is also known as -.
