ID:ITM2C_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Integral membrane protein 2C; AltName: Full=Cerebral protein 14; AltName: Full=Transmembrane protein BRI3; Contains: RecName: Full=CT-BRI3; FUNCTION: Negative regulator of beta amyloid peptide production. May inhibit the processing of APP by blocking its access to alpha- and beta-secretase. Binding to the beta-secretase-cleaved APP C- terminal fragment is negligible, suggesting that ITM2C is a poor gamma-secretase cleavage inhibitor. May play a role in TNF-induced cell death and neuronal differentiation (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with BACE1. Interacts with APP. Interacts with STMN2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity). Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: High levels in the brain, specifically in the cerebral cortex, medulla, amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, olfactory lobe and spinal cord. Very low levels in other organs. PTM: Type I membrane-bound, as well as soluble, furin has a pre- eminent role in ITM2C proteolytic processing. PCSK7 and PCSK5 may also be involved although to a lesser extent. The soluble form of PCSK7 is incapable of processing ITM2C. Fails to undergo shedding by ADAM10 and intramembanaire cleavage by SPPL2B. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ITM2 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BRICHOS domain.
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.
