Itm2b - integral membrane protein 2B

Enables ATP binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Predicted to be located in Golgi-associated vesicle membrane and extracellular space. Predicted to be integral component of organelle membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; pancreas epithelium; and retina. Used to study cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ITM2B-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy 1 and ITM2B-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy 2. Orthologous to human ITM2B (integral membrane protein 2B).
