Gene: NEO1
Alternate names for this Gene: IGDCC2|NGN|NTN1R2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cell surface protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of four N-terminal immunoglobulin-like domains, six fibronectin type III domains, a transmembrane domain and a C-terminal internal domain that shares homology with the tumor suppressor candidate gene DCC. This protein may be involved in cell growth and differentiation and in cell-cell adhesion. Defects in this gene are associated with cell proliferation in certain cancers. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q24.1
Description of this Gene: neogenin 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
