HNRA2

HNRA2, also known as HNRA2 protein or Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 15 like 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HNRA2 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 17. The protein is involved in cellular processes related to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway.

The HNRA2 gene plays a role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. It is thought to interact with other proteins within the EGFR pathway, modulating its activity. Research suggests that HNRA2 may be implicated in certain human diseases, including some types of cancer, where dysregulation of cell signaling is a common feature. Studies have explored its potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target in oncological contexts.

The precise molecular mechanisms by which HNRA2 exerts its functions are still under investigation. However, its involvement in a critical cellular signaling cascade indicates its importance in maintaining normal cellular homeostasis. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate the biological significance and clinical relevance of HNRA2.
