NCIt synonyms : iRhom2; Rhomboid Veinlet-Like Protein 5; Rhomboid Veinlet-Like Protein 6; Rhomboid 5 Homolog 2; Rhomboid Family Member 2;
NCIt definition : Inactive rhomboid protein 2 (856 aa, 97 kDa) is encoded by the human RHBDF2 gene.
This protein plays a role in the modulation of both epidermal growth factor receptor
(EGFR) ligand secretion and EGFR-dependent signaling.;
