NCIt synonyms : 85 kDa Lysosomal Membrane Sialoglycoprotein; SCARB2; LGP85; CD36L2 Antigen; Scavenger Receptor Class B Member 2; LIMP II; Lysosomal Integral Membrane Protein II; CD36 Antigen-Like 2; Lysosome Membrane Protein II;
NCIt definition : Lysosome membrane protein 2 (478 aa, 54 kDa) is encoded by the human SCARB2 gene.
This protein plays a role in cell surface binding and endocytosis of glucosylceramidase
and enterovirus 71.;
NCIt note : Lysosome membrane protein 2 is involved in the pathogenesis of hand-foot-mouth disease
caused by enterovirus 71 and possibly coxsackievirus A16. (EntrezGene and OMIM);
