Full name: receptor accessory protein 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C5orf19; SGC32445; SPG72; Yip2d

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the receptor expression enhancing protein family. Studies of a related gene in mouse suggest that the encoded protein is found in the cell membrane and enhances the function of sweet taste receptors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
