Gldn - gliomedin Gene

Predicted to enable protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within clustering of voltage-gated sodium channels; heterotypic cell-cell adhesion; and microvillus organization. Predicted to be located in cell surface; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of Collagen trimer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human GLDN (gliomedin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
