CELSR3 cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 3

Gene ID: 1951, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FMI1; EGFL1; HFMI1; MEGF2; ADGRC3; CDHF11; RESDA1

Summary

This gene belongs to the flamingo subfamily, which is included in the cadherin superfamily. The flamingo cadherins consist of nonclassic-type cadherins that do not interact with catenins. They are plasma membrane proteins containing seven epidermal growth factor-like repeats, nine cadherin domains and two laminin A G-type repeats in their ectodomain. They also have seven transmembrane domains, a characteristic feature of their subfamily. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of contact-dependent neurite growth and may play a role in tumor formation. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
