Rhomboid family member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHBDF2 gene.^[3][4] The alternative name iRhom2 has been proposed, in order to clarify that it is a catalytically inactive member of the rhomboid family of intramembrane serine proteases.^[5][6]

The RHBDF2 gene is located at on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q25.1) on the Crick (minus) strand. It is 30.534 kilobases in length and encodes a protein of 856 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 96.686 kiloDaltons.

The RHBDF2 protein plays an important role in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha,^[7][8][9] and has also been implicated in familial esophageal cancer.^[10]

It is involved in the regulation of the secretion of several ligands of the epidermal growth factor receptor.
