ID:ERLN2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Erlin-2; AltName: Full=Endoplasmic reticulum lipid raft-associated protein 2; AltName: Full=Stomatin-prohibitin-flotillin-HflC/K domain-containing protein 2; Short=SPFH domain-containing protein 2; FUNCTION: Component of the ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex which mediates the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs). Also involved in ITPR1 degradation by the ERAD pathway. SUBUNIT: Interacts with activated ITPR1, independently of the degree of ITPR1 polyubiquitination (By similarity). Forms a heteromeric complex with ERLIN1. In complex with ERLIN1, interacts with RNF170. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Associated with lipid raft-like domains of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. DISEASE: Defects in ERLIN2 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal recessive type 18 (SPG18) [MIM:611225]. A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG18 is a severe form with onset in early childhood. Most affected individuals have severe psychomotor retardation. Some may develop significant joint contractures. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAH50611.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
