Summary
NBEAL2 (neurobeachin like 2, HGNC:31928) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.31, encoding Neurobeachin-like protein 2 (Q6ZNJ1). Probably involved in thrombopoiesis.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a beige and Chediak-Higashi (BEACH) domain and multiple WD40 domains, and may play a role in megakaryocyte alpha-granule biogenesis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of gray platelet syndrome.

Function. Probably involved in thrombopoiesis. Plays a role in the development or secretion of alpha-granules, that contain several growth factors important for platelet biogenesis.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in megakaryocytes.
Disease relevance. Gray platelet syndrome (GPS) [MIM:139090] A rare platelet disorder characterized by a selective deficiency in the number and contents of platelet alpha-granules. It is associated with mild to moderate bleeding tendency and moderate thrombocytopenia. The platelets are enlarged and have a gray appearance on light microscopy of Wright-stained peripheral blood smears due to decreased granules. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the WD repeat neurobeachin family.
