Recombinant Human Nodal modulator 2 (NOMO2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q5JPE7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NOMO2

Target Full Name

BOS complex subunit NOMO2

Target Function

Component of a ribosome-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) translocon complex involved in multi-pass membrane protein transport into the ER membrane and biogenesis. May antagonize Nodal signaling and subsequent organization of axial structures during mesodermal patterning, via its interaction with NCLN/Nicalin.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in pancreas and skeletal muscle and, at lower levels, in heart.

Target Synonyms

NOMO2; Nodal modulator 2; pM5 protein 2

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein originally thought to be related to the collagenase gene family. This gene is one of three highly similar genes in a region of duplication located on the p arm of chromosome 16. These three genes encode closely related proteins that may have the same function. The protein encoded by one of these genes has been identified as part of a protein complex that participates in the Nodal signaling pathway during vertebrate development. Mutations in ABCC6, which is located nearby, rather than mutations in this gene are associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Two transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
