Preparation and Storage

Background: ITM2C

ITM2C (Integral membrane protein 2C; also BRI3 and cerebral protein 14) is a 36‑38 kDa member of the BRI₃ family of proteins. It is found on neurons and appears to interact with APP, where ITM2C binding blocks proteolytic processing of APP, plus SCG10, where ITM2C binding blocks the microtubule-destabilizing activity of SCG10, thus inhibiting neurite outgrowth. Human ITM2C is a 267 amino acid (aa) type II transmembrane glycoprotein. Proteolytic cleavage by furin at Arg242Gly243 may create a truncated 34‑35 kDa ITM2C plus a C-terminal 4 kDa active peptide (aa 243‑267). The ECD (aa 76‑267) contains one BRICHOS domain (aa 136‑230). ITM2C may exist as a dimer. There are two splice variants, one that shows a deletion of aa 41‑87, and a second that shows a deletion of aa 151‑187. Over aa 86‑267, human ITM2C shares 96% aa identity with mouse ITM2C.
