PLSCR2
Description
The PLSCR2 (phospholipid scramblase 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 3.
PLSCR2, also known as Ca2+-dependent phospholipid scramblase 2, is a protein encoded by the PLSCR2 gene in humans.
PLSCR2 facilitates the rapid movement of phospholipids across the cell membrane when calcium ions bind to it. This disrupts the normal arrangement of phospholipids, leading to a loss of asymmetry in the cell membrane. It is crucial for several processes, including blood clot formation, mast cell activation, and the identification of dying or injured cells by the immune system.
PLSCR2 is also known as -.
