This gene encodes an iron containing glycoprotein which catalyzes the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester to alcohol and orthophosphate. It is the most basic of the acid phosphatases and is the only form not inhibited by L(+)-tartrate. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

Neurabin-II, also called spinophilin, interacts with actin and PP-1 in dendritic spines of the central nervous system (1,2). The gene encoding human neurabin-II maps to chromosome 17q21-q22 (2). The structural characteristics of neurabin-II include one F-actin binding domain at the N-terminal region, a predicted coiled-coil struture at the C-terminal, one PDZ domain at the middle region, and a domain known to interact with transmembrane proteins (1). Neurabin-II bundles actin fliaments in vit

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is expressed by activated, but not by resting, T and B cells. TRAF2 and TRAF5 can interact with this receptor, and mediate the signal transduction that leads to the activation of NF-kappaB. This receptor is a positive regulator of apoptosis, and also has been shown to limit the proliferative potential of autoreactive CD8 effector T cells and protect the body against autoimmunity. Two alternatively s

CCDC11 is a 514 amino acid protein encode by a gene that maps to human chromosome 18q21.1. Encoding over 300 genes, chromosome 18 contains about 76 million bases. Trisomy 18, or Edwards syndrome, is the second most common trisomy after Downs syndrome. Symptoms of Edwards syndrome include low birth weight, a variety of physical development defects, heart deformations and breathing difficulty. Translocation between chromosome 18 and 14 is the most common translocation in cancers, and occurs i

NCAPG2 is 1 of 3 non-SMC subunits that define condensin II. Condensin complexes I and II play essential roles in mitotic chromosome assembly and segregation. Both condensins contain 2 invariant structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) subunits, SMC2 and SMC4, but they contain different sets of non-SMC subunits. NCAPG2 is 1 of 3 non-SMC subunits that defines condensin II.

May act as an adapter protein to couple membrane receptors to intracellular signaling pathways. May be involved in signaling of ITGB2/LFA-1 and other integrins. Enhances HGF-MET signaling by recruiting Sos and activating the Ras pathway. Involved in activation of androgen and glucocorticoid receptor in the presence of their cognate hormones. Stabilizes TP73 isoform Alpha, probably by inhibiting its ubiquitination, and increases its proapoptotic activity. Inhibits the kinase activity of DYRK
