SDC2

HSPG; Syndecan 2

Enables PDZ domain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; positive regulation of epithelial cell migration; and regulation of synapse organization. Located in neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleft lip and cleft palate. Orthologous to human SDC2 (syndecan 2).
