HEPACAM - hepatic and glial cell adhesion molecule Gene
Also Known as HEPN1; MLC2A; MLC2B; GlialCAM
Species: Homo sapiens
About HEPACAM
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 266 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 47.9), fat (RPKM 15.6) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is involved in cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. The expression of this gene is downregulated or undetectable in many Cancer cell lines, so this may be a tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
