Gene: TCAM1P

Alternate names for this Gene: TCAM1

Gene Summary: This pseudogene is located downstream from the growth hormone locus on chromosome 17. This locus evolved by a series of partial duplications that have disrupted the human gene. A homologous gene in mouse encodes a testis-specific cell adhesion protein that may play a role in germ cell-Sertoli cell interactions.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q23.3

Description of this Gene: testicular cell adhesion molecule 1, pseudogene

Type of Gene: pseudo
