**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human NRP2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q33.3 and is approximately 116 kb in length. This allele, which encodes neuropilin-2 protein, is involved in the mediation of signal transduction associated with cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Aberrant expression of the gene may contribute to colon cancer and autism.
