About LEAP2

Cytogenetic location: 5q31.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:132,873,668-132,875,046 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants) and 116 orthologues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 158.3), small intestine (RPKM 13.5) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptide that is expressed predominantly in the liver. The mature peptide has activity against gram-positive bacteria and yeasts. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
