Gene: PTN

Alternate names for this Gene: HARP|HB-GAM|HBBM|HBGF-8|HBGF8|HBNF|HBNF-1|NEGF1|OSF-1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted heparin-binding growth factor. The protein has significant roles in cell growth and survival, cell migration, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q33

Description of this Gene: pleiotrophin

Type of Gene: protein-coding
