This gene encodes a member of the receptor expression enhancing protein family. Studies of a related gene in mouse suggest that the encoded protein is found in the cell membrane and enhances the function of sweet taste receptors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012].

Receptor expression-enhancing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REEP2 gene.

== Function == The protein encoded by REEP2 belongs to a family of proteins with receptor enhancing expression capabilities, including possible enhancement of G protein-coupled receptors. The REEP2 protein shows a restricted mode of expression in human tissues.
