DSCAM - DS cell adhesion molecule Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as CHD2; CHD2-42; CHD2-52

Gene ID: 1826 | Gene type: protein coding

About DSCAM

Cytogenetic location: 21q22.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:40,010,999-40,847,158 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 283 orthologues and 36 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 4.3), spleen (RPKM 0.3) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules (Ig-CAMs), and is involved in human central and peripheral nervous system development. This gene is a candidate for Down syndrome and congenital heart disease (DSCHD). A gene encoding a similar Ig-CAM protein is located on chromosome 11. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
