Gene: CLEC5A

Alternate names for this Gene: CLECSF5|MDL-1|MDL1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type II transmembrane protein interacts with dnax-activation protein 12 and may play a role in cell activation. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full-length sequence has not been determined.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q34

Description of this Gene: C-type lectin domain containing 5A

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: MGAM

Alternate names for this Gene: MG|MGA

Gene Summary: This gene encodes maltase-glucoamylase, which is a brush border membrane enzyme that plays a role in the final steps of digestion of starch. The protein has two catalytic sites identical to those of sucrase-isomaltase, but the proteins are only 59% homologous. Both are members of glycosyl hydrolase family 31, which has a variety of substrate specificities.
