Rhomboid-related protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHBDL2 gene.[5]

Function

[edit]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the rhomboid protease family of integral membrane proteins. This family contains proteins that are related to Drosophila rhomboid-1. Members of this family are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and are thought to function as intramembrane serine proteases.

RHBDL2 functions as a sheddase and is localized to the plasma membrane.[6] Known substrates of RHBDL2 include thrombomodulin and epidermal growth factor;[6] profiling of the substrate repertoire of RHBDL2 has identified a number of additional type I membrane proteins substrates, including BCAM, SPINT1, and CLCP1.[7]
