TECPR2 : tectonin beta-propeller repeat containing 2
Description
TECPR2 (Tec Protein Kinase Receptor 2) is a gene that encodes a transmembrane protein with a critical role in cell signaling and regulation. The protein product, TECPR2, acts as a receptor for various growth factors, triggering downstream signaling cascades that influence cell growth, survival, and differentiation. TECPR2 is expressed in multiple tissues, including the immune system, nervous system, and cardiovascular system, suggesting its broad involvement in physiological processes. Disruptions in TECPR2 function can lead to aberrant signaling pathways, contributing to the development of various diseases.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer)
- Immune disorders (e.g., autoimmune diseases)
- Neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer‘s disease)
- Cardiovascular diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis, heart failure)
Did you know?
TECPR2 is part of the Tec family of kinases, known for their involvement in immune cell activation and signaling.
