DSCAML1 DS cell adhesion molecule like 1

Gene ID: 57453, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DSCAM2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ig superfamily of cell adhesion molecules and is involved in neuronal differentiation. The encoded membrane-bound protein localizes to the cell surface, where it forms aggregates that repel neuronal processes of the same cell type. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
