Gene: CLMP
Alternate names for this Gene: ACAM|ASAM|CSBM|CSBS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein that is localized to junctional complexes between endothelial and epithelial cells and may have a role in cell-cell adhesion. Expression of this gene in white adipose tissue is implicated in adipocyte maturation and development of obesity. This gene is also essential for normal intestinal development and mutations in the gene are associated with congenital short bowel syndrome.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q24.1
Description of this Gene: CXADR like membrane protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
