NRP2 Proteins

This gene encodes a member of the neuropilin family of receptor proteins. The encoded transmembrane protein binds to SEMA3C protein sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3C and SEMA3F protein sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3F, and interacts with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This protein may play a role in cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
