Dmx-like 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DMXL2 gene. ^[5]

Function

This gene encodes a protein with 12 WD domains. Proteins with WD domains are involved in many functions including participation in signal transduction pathways. Participation of the encoded protein in regulation of the Notch signaling pathway has been demonstrated in vitro using several human celines.^[6] A gene encoding a similar protein is located on chromosome 5. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Clinical relevance

Haplosufficiency of Dmxl2 has been identified as the cause of Polyendocrine-polyneuropathy syndrome, and delayed puberty. Research has indicated that this is a result of altered function of CNS synapses (in which the protein product of Dmxl2 is expressed) causing altered activation of the GnRH neurons of the hypothalamus.

Poliovirus receptor-related 1 (PVRL1), also known as nectin-1 and CD111 (formerly herpesvirus entry mediator C, HVEC) is a human protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), also considered a member of the nectins. It is a membrane protein with three extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a single transmembrane helix and a cytoplasmic tail. The protein can mediate Ca²⁺-independent cellular adhesion further characterizing it as IgSF cell adhesion molecule (IgSF CAM).

Rabconnectin-3A (Rbcn-3A) or DmX is a gene located on the X chromosome in Drosophila and encodes for the relatively large WD-repeat protein, rabconnectin-3A. Rabconnectin-3A is involved in Notch signalling by regulating the vacuolar proton pump V-ATPase. DmX is a highly conserved gene and is widely found in insects and mammals. Two orthologs of DmX exist in humans, DMXL1 and DMXL2, the latter of which codes for the synaptic protein rabconnectin-3α. Its name comes from the fact that it binds the Ras-related protein Rab3.

BR serine/threonine kinase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BRSK1 gene.

Transmembrane protease, serine 11B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMPRSS11B gene.
