PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a characteristic V-type domain
  • two potential N-glycosylation sites in the extracellular domain
  • a putative serine phosphorylation site for casein kinase 2 is also present in the cytoplasmic tail
  • conjugated GlycoP

    basic FUNCTION
  • potentially involved as homotypic adhesion molecule in thymus histogenesis
  • CD3-binding immunoglobulin-like protein, regulates embryonic thymic development
  • modulation of MPZL2 expression in thymocytes is crucial for lymphocyte physiological developmental progression and stromal differentiation
  • immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule, playing a role in structural organisation of the thymus and early lymphocyte development
  • lysosome and endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein involved in autophagy and apoptosis
  • MPZL2- induced autophagy and apoptosis play a role in suppressing the development of glioblastoma (GBM)
  • adhesion molecule that mediates epithelial cell-cell interactions in several (developing) tissues
  • has likely a unique function in the inner ear
  • MPZL2 function is essential only in the inner ear and functional redundancy might well prohibit phenotypic effects in other tissues
