NDRG2 (NDRG family member 2) belongs to the N-myc downregulated gene family. It is a cytoplasmic protein which may be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation. It is upregulated at both the RNA and protein levels in Alzheimer's disease. NDRG2 mRNA is downregulated or undetectable in several human cancers and cancer cell-lines, suggesting that it may have anti-tumor activity.
