Definition
This section has been translated automatically.

MBTPS2 encodes a membrane-bound zinc metalloprotease, the "sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2" with the acronym "SREBP2". This zinc metalloprotease acts as a regulatory protein, and performs an important function as a transcription factor in cholesterol metabolism.

Different mutations in the MBTPS2 gene are associated with various keratinization abnormalities, such as:

Another mutation in the MBTPS2 gene results in X-linked osteogenesis imperfecta without evidence of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (Caengprasath N et al. 2021).
