BOC BOC cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated

Gene ID: 91653, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Boi; CDON2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin/fibronectin type III repeat family. It is a component of a cell-surface receptor complex that mediates cell-cell interactions between muscle precursor cells, and promotes myogenic differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
