QSOX2 quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 2

Gene ID: 169714, updated on 8-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SOXN; QSCN6L1

Summary

QSOX2 is a member of the sulfhydryl oxidase/quiescin-6 (Q6) family (QSOX1; MIM 603120) that regulates the sensitization of neuroblastoma cells for IFN-gamma (IFNG; MIM 147570)-induced cell death (Wittke et al., 2003 [PubMed 14633699]).[supplied by OMIM, Jun 2009]
