This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that interacts with the beta subunit of a sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene is a cause of lymphoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in fetal brain. Weakly expressed in adult brain and thymus. Not expressed in any other normal tissue examined.
DISEASE:
Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NKAIN2 is a cause of lymphoma. Deletion del(6)(q13q21) within NKAIN2 and involving SUSP1 generates the SUSP1-NKAIN2 product.
Similarity:
Belongs to the NKAIN family.
