lnT2

lnT2 is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17 in humans. It is part of the LIM and T (LNT) gene family, which includes several genes involved in cell adhesion and signaling. The LNT gene family is characterized by the presence of LIM domains, which are protein-protein interaction motifs, and T domains, which are involved in cell adhesion.

The lnT2 gene encodes a protein called LIM and T domain-containing protein 2 (LNT2). LNT2 is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, and kidney. It plays a role in cell adhesion and signaling, and its expression is regulated by various factors, including growth factors and cytokines.

LNT2 has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In cancer, LNT2 is often overexpressed and is associated with poor prognosis. In neurodegenerative disorders, LNT2 is involved in the regulation of synaptic function and plasticity.

The function of LNT2 is not fully understood, and ongoing research is focused on elucidating its role in various biological processes. However, it is clear that LNT2 plays an important role in cell adhesion and signaling, and its dysregulation is associated with several diseases.
