Gene:
amyloid beta precursor protein (cytoplasmic tail) binding protein 2
Gene ID:
196361
Symbol:
APPBP2
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene interacts with microtubules and is functionally associated with beta-amyloid precursor protein transport and/or processing. The beta-amyloid precursor protein is a cell surface protein with signal-transducing properties, and it is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. This gene has been found to be highly expressed in breast cancer. Multiple polyadenylation sites have been found for this gene.
