NDRG2

Protein NDRG2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the NDRG2 is_associated_with::gene (NMYC downstrean-regulated gene 2).

Function
This gene is a member of the is_associated_with::N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that may play a role in is_associated_with::neurite outgrowth. This gene may be involved in glioblastoma and aggressive is_associated_with::meningioma is_associated_with::carcinogenesis (via cell proliferation ). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
