Gene ID: 3491, updated on 27-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GIG1; CYR61; IGFBP10

Summary

The secreted protein encoded by this gene is growth factor-inducible and promotes the adhesion of endothelial cells. The encoded protein interacts with several integrins and with heparan sulfate proteoglycan. This protein also plays a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix formation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
