Gene: NRP2

Alternate names for this Gene: NP2|NPN2|PRO2714|VEGF165R2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the neuropilin family of receptor proteins. The encoded transmembrane protein binds to SEMA3C protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3C} and SEMA3F protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3F}, and interacts with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This protein may play a role in cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q33.3

Description of this Gene: neuropilin 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
