Proteolipid protein 2, also known as PLP2 or A4, is a 152 amino acid, multi-pass transmembrane protein containing a MARVEL (MAL and related proteins for vesicle trafficking and membrane link) domain. Proteins containing the MARVEL domain have an M-shaped topology, with four transmembrane-helix regions and cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal regions. Localized to the membrane, PLP2 is highly enriched in colonic mucosa and is expressed in a gradient along the crypto-villus axis, with the most abundant expression in the lower half of the crypt. PLP2 has been thought to play a role in chemotaxis and cell differentiation in the intestinal epithelium. PLP2 has also been found in the pyramidal cells of hippocampus and granular cells of the cerebellum and has been implicated in X-linked mental retardation.
