Gene: CHODL
Alternate names for this Gene: C21orf68|MT75|PRED12
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type I membrane protein with a carbohydrate recognition domain characteristic of C-type lectins in its extracellular portion. In other proteins, this domain is involved in endocytosis of glycoproteins and exogenous sugar-bearing pathogens. This protein localizes predominantly to the perinuclear region. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 21
Location in Chromosome : 21q21.1
Description of this Gene: chondrolectin
Type of Gene: protein-coding
