Background

ITM2A (Integral membrane protein 2A; also protein E25) is a 43-45 kDa member of the ITM2 family of proteins. It is expressed by chondrocytes involved in endochondrial ossification, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue-derived stem cells, and CD3-activated CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. ITM2A is found embedded in both plasma membrane and Golgi complex. Human ITM2A is a 263 amino acid (aa) type II transmembrane glycoprotein. The ECD (aa 75-263) contains one BRICHOS domain (aa 133‑227). Proteolytic cleavage by furin is typical for BRICHOS domain-containing proteins. ITM2A may exist as a dimer. There are two potential splice variants, one that shows a deletion of aa 55-81, and a second that shows a deletion of aa 38-81. Full-length human ITM2A shares 95% aa identity with mouse ITM2A.
