Gene: HEPACAM

Alternate names for this Gene: GlialCAM|HEPN1|MLC2A|MLC2B

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is involved in cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. The expression of this gene is downregulated or undetectable in many cancer cell lines, so this may be a tumor suppressor gene.
