Rhomboid, veinlet-like 2 (drosophila)

Rhomboid, veinlet-like 2 (Drosophila) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the RHBDL2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the rhomboid family of integral membrane proteins. This family contains proteins that are related to Drosophila rhomboid protein. Members of this family are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and are thought to function as intramembrane serine proteases. The encoded protein is thought to release soluble growth factors by proteolytic cleavage of certain membrane-bound substrates, including ephrin B2 and ephrin B3.
