Integral membrane protein 2A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITM2A gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in osteo- and chondrogenic cellular differentiation (the cells which are responsible for the development of bone and cartilage respectively).^[6]

ITM2A is also involved in activation of T-cells in the immune system^[9] and in myocyte differentiation.^[10]
