| Function |
Negative regulator of beta amyloid peptide production. May inhibit the processing of APP by blocking its access to alpha- and beta-secretase. Binding to the beta-secretase-cleaved APP C- terminal fragment is negligible, suggesting that ITM2C is a poor gamma-secretase cleavage inhibitor. May play a role in TNF-induced cell death and neuronal differentiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

| Subcellular Location |
Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19114711}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19114711}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
High levels in the brain, specifically in the cerebral cortex, medulla, amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, olfactory lobe and spinal cord. Very low levels in other organs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11290423, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15606899}.
