Function

The protein encoded by REEP2 belongs to a family of proteins with receptor enhancing expression capabilities, including possible enhancement of G protein-coupled receptors.[7] The REEP2 protein shows a restricted mode of expression in human tissues.[8]

Clinical significance

REEP2 mutations have been reported in families with hereditary spastic paraplegia.[9]
