Summary

This gene encodes a type I integral membrane protein found only in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein is part of an N-oligosaccharyl transferase complex that links high mannose oligosaccharides to asparagine residues found in the Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif of nascent polypeptide chains. This protein is similar in sequence to the yeast oligosaccharyl transferase subunit SWP1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that chronic methamphetamine administration significantly upregulated the RPN2 in oligodendrocytes, specifically within the protein processing of endoplasmic reticulum pathway [Oladapo et al. DOI:10.3390/Ijms26020649].
