NCIt synonyms : MGC126574; PRO2714; VEGF165R2; Neuropilin 2 wt Allele; NP2; NPN2; Receptor for VEGF165 and Semaphorins Class3 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human NRP2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q33.3 and is approximately
116 kb in length. This allele, which encodes neuropilin-2 protein, is involved in
the mediation of signal transduction associated with cardiovascular development, axon
guidance, and tumorigenesis. Aberrant expression of the gene may contribute to colon
cancer and autism.;
NCIt note : The NPR2 gene may both modulate metastasis of colon cancer cells and mediate the malignancy
of pancreatic cancer. (Entrez Gene);
