Although its exact functions in human health and disease are still being studied, it is believed to contribute to various cellular activities.

GPR25

EDA2R, also known as Ectodysplasin A2 receptor, is a protein encoded by the EDA2R gene. It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily and functions as a receptor for ectodysplasin A2 (EDA-A2), a signalling molecule. EDA2R plays a vital role in mediating EDA-A2 signalling during embryonic development, regulating the formation and patterning of ectodermal tissues such as hair, teeth, and sweat glands.

EDA2R

THEMIS2 (Thymocyte Selection Associated Family Member 2): THEMIS2 is a gene primarily expressed in immune cells and involved in regulating innate immune responses. It participates in signalling pathways that influence the activation and function of macrophages and B cells. Its role in immune regulation points to potential involvement in inflammatory diseases and makes it a possible target for modulating immune activity in autoimmunity and infection.
