Name

PVRL2 Gene

poliovirus receptor-related 2 (herpesvirus entry mediator B)

This gene encodes a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein with two Ig-like C2-type domains and an Ig-like V-type domain. This protein is one of the plasma membrane components of adherens junctions. It also serves as an entry for certain mutant strains of herpes simplex virus and pseudorabies virus, and it is involved in cell to cell spreading of these viruses. Variations in this gene have been associated with differences in the severity of multiple sclerosis. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

LAMP5 antisense RNA 1

LAMP5 Gene

lysosomal-associated membrane protein family, member 5

Predicted to be involved in establishment of protein localization to organelle. Located in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; endosome membrane; and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
