{"symbol":"SLURP2","synonyms":[],"name":"secreted LY6/PLAUR domain containing 2","description":"This gene encodes a novel, secreted member of the Ly6/uPAR (LU) superfamily of proteins containing the unique three-finger LU domain. This gene is mainly expressed in epithelial cells, including skin and keratinocytes, and is up-regulated in psoriatic skin lesions, suggesting its involvement in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. Read-through transcription from the neighboring upstream gene (LYNX1) generates naturally-occurring transcripts (LYNX1-SLURP2) that encode a fusion protein comprised of sequence sharing identity with each individual gene product.
