Gene: CHL1
Alternate names for this Gene: CALL|L1CAM2
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the L1 gene family of neural cell adhesion molecules. It is a neural recognition molecule that may be involved in signal transduction pathways. The deletion of one copy of this gene may be responsible for mental defects in patients with 3p- syndrome. This protein may also play a role in the growth of certain cancers. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p26.3
Description of this Gene: cell adhesion molecule L1 like
Type of Gene: protein-coding
