General information

  • The soluble extracellular domain of TMEFF2 increases survival of neuronal cells in primary cultures. [1]
  • Tomoregulin 2 is a glycosylated, single-pass type I, transmembrane protein with a unique extracellular domain, containing both an epidermal growth factor-like motif and two follistatin-like modules. The ECD can be cleaved by cell surface proteases, releasing it into the extracellular space. Cleavage is stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. The TR2 ECD functions as a neurotrophic factor for hippocampal and mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons, and appears to increase dendrite length in the latter cell type. [2]
