PDZD2 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
PDZD2 
Aliases
KIAA0300; PDZK3 
Common name
PDZ domain containing 2 
Entrez Id
23037
Description
The protein encoded by this gene contains six PDZ domains and shares sequence similarity with pro-interleukin-16 (pro-IL-16). Like pro-IL-16, the encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and is thought to be cleaved by a caspase to produce a secreted peptide containing two PDZ domains. In addition, this gene is upregulated in primary prostate tumors and may be involved in the early stages of prostate tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015].
