OS9 OS9 endoplasmic reticulum lectin

Gene ID: 10956, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OS-9; ERLEC2

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is highly expressed in osteosarcomas. This protein binds to the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a key regulator of the hypoxic response and angiogenesis, and promotes the degradation of one of its subunits. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
