Gene: CD47

Alternate names for this Gene: IAP|MER6|OA3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a membrane protein, which is involved in the increase in intracellular calcium concentration that occurs upon cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. The encoded protein is also a receptor for the C-terminal cell binding domain of thrombospondin, and it may play a role in membrane transport and signal transduction. This gene has broad tissue distribution, and is reduced in expression on Rh erythrocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q13.12

Description of this Gene: CD47 molecule

Type of Gene: protein-coding
