Nell2 - NEL-like 2

Predicted to enable heparin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including development of secondary female sexual characteristics; neuron cellular homeostasis; and positive regulation of hormone secretion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; extracellular space; and perikaryon. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; axial skeleton; central nervous system; limb mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NELL2 (neural EGFL like 2).
