ELFN2

ELFN2, also known as Elf-like factor 2, is a protein encoded by the ELFN2 gene. This gene is located on human chromosome 1. ELFN2 is a member of the ELFN family, which are characterized by their homology to elfins. The exact function of ELFN2 is still under investigation, but it is believed to play a role in cellular processes. Research suggests a potential involvement in cell-to-cell interactions and signaling pathways. Studies have indicated that ELFN2 may be expressed in various tissues, though its specific expression patterns and physiological roles require further elucidation. Mutations or alterations in the ELFN2 gene have been explored for their potential links to certain diseases, though no definitive associations have been firmly established. Ongoing research aims to better understand the molecular mechanisms and biological significance of ELFN2 within the broader context of cellular biology and human health.
