nomenclature changes

Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 4355, MPP2. From membrane palmitoylated protein 2 to MAGUK p55 scaffold protein 2

summary for human MPP2 from NCBI

Palmitoylated membrane protein 2 is a member of a family of membrane-associated proteins termed MAGUKs (membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologs). MAGUKs interact with the cytoskeleton and regulate cell proliferation, signaling pathways, and intracellular junctions. Palmitoylated membrane protein 2 contains a conserved sequence, called the SH3 (src homology 3) motif, found in several other proteins that associate with the cytoskeleton and are suspected to play important roles in signal transduction.
