CLMP CXADR like membrane protein

Gene ID: 79827, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ACAM; ASAM; CSBM; CSBS

Summary

This gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein that is localized to junctional complexes between endothelial and epithelial cells and may have a role in cell-cell adhesion. Expression of this gene in white adipose tissue is implicated in adipocyte maturation and development of obesity. This gene is also essential for normal intestinal development and mutations in the gene are associated with congenital short bowel syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
