Gene: RARRES2
Alternate names for this Gene: HP10433|TIG2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a secreted chemotactic protein that initiates chemotaxis via the ChemR23 G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane domain ligand. Expression of this gene is upregulated by the synthetic retinoid tazarotene and occurs in a wide variety of tissues. The active protein has several roles, including that as an adipokine and as an antimicrobial protein with activity against bacteria and fungi.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7q36.1
Description of this Gene: retinoic acid receptor responder 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
