Summary

IRAG2 (inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor associated 2, HGNC:6690) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p12.1, encoding Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor associated 2 (Q12912). Plays a role in the delivery of peptides to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules; this occurs in a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-independent manner.

The protein encode dby this gene is expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in lymphoid cell lines and tissues. The protein is localized to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Function. Plays a role in the delivery of peptides to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules; this occurs in a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-independent manner. May play a role in taste signal transduction via ITPR3. May play a role during fertilization in pronucleus congression and fusion. Plays a role in maintaining nuclear shape, maybe as a component of the LINC complex and through interaction with microtubules. Plays a role in the regulation of cellular excitability by regulating the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated HCN4 channel activity.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via coiled-coil domain) with ITPR3. Interacts with SUN1 and SUN2. Interacts with microtubules. Interacts with HCN4; regulates HCN4 channel activity.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Nucleus envelope. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Spindle pole. Chromosome.

Tissue specificity. Expressed at high levels in pre B-cells, mature B-cells and pre T-cells. Expressed at low levels in mature T-cells and plasma B-cells. Expressed in germinal center B-cells, splenic marginal zone cells and B-cell lymphomas. Expressed in neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex, epithelial cells in tonsil, adrenal glands, zymogen-producing cells in the stomach and epithelial cells in seminal vesicles.

Post-translational modifications. The removal of the C-terminal lumenal domain occurs by proteolytic processing.

Similarity. Belongs to the IRAG2 family.
