The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for TNFRSF14, which is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, and which is also known as a herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). This protein may function as a costimulatory factor for the activation of lymphoid cells and as a deterrent to infection by herpesvirus. This protein has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of T cells, and trigger apoptosis of various tumor cells. This protein is also reported to prevent tumor necrosis factor alpha mediated apoptosis in primary hepatocyte. Two alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. (provided by RefSeq)
Tomoregulin-2 functions in cell signaling, neuronal cell survival, and tumor suppression. It also helps in regulating (i.e. inhibiting) as the non-canonical activin/BMP4 signaling, PI3K, and Ras/ERK1/2 pathways. It contributes to significant inhibition of transcription of Pomc and is used for the treatment of corticotrope tumors. Down-regulation of this gene is observed in human gastric carcinogenesis and negatively regulates STAT3. TMEFF2 may act as a biomarker for carcinogenesis.
