Amyloid-like protein 2, APLP-2, APPH, Amyloid protein homolog, CDEI box-binding protein, CDEBP, APLP2, APPL2
APLP2(Amyloid beta(A4) precursor-like protein 2), also known as CDEBP or SPERM MEMBRANE PROTEIN, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APLP2 gene. The APLP2 gene is mapped on 11q24.3. The human amyloid precursor-like protein APLP2 is a highly conserved homolog of a sequence-specific DNA-binding mouse protein with an important function in the cell cycle. APLP2 along with APLP1 are important modulators of glucose and insulin homeostasis. APLP2 associates with antigen presentation molecules like MHC class I molecules and regulates their surface expression by enhancing endocytosis.
