Homer protein homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOMER2gene.[5][6][7]
This gene encodes a member of the homer family of dendritic proteins. Members of this family regulate group 1 metabotrophic glutamate receptor function. The encoded protein may be involved in cell growth. Four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.[7]
