GLDN gliomedin

Gene ID: 342035, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLOM; COLM; CRGL2; CRG-L2; LCCS11; UNC-112; UNC-122

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that contains olfactomedin-like and collagen-like domains. The encoded protein, which exists in both transmembrane and secreted forms, promotes formation of the nodes of Ranvier in the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in this gene cause a form of lethal congenital contracture syndrome in human patients. Autoantibodies to the encoded protein have been identified in sera form patients with multifocal motor neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]
