Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in axon. Predicted to be active in neuronal cell body membrane. Is expressed in bone; central nervous system; and pelvic girdle skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder; malignant astrocytoma; obesity; psoriasis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CADM2 (cell adhesion molecule 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice with ubiquitous conditional deletion of the gene do not display any neurological abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
