Gene: VANGL1
Alternate names for this Gene: KITENIN|LPP2|STB2|STBM2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the tretraspanin family. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating intestinal trefoil factor induced wound healing in the intestinal mucosa. Mutations in this gene are associated with neural tube defects. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p13.1
Description of this Gene: VANGL planar cell polarity protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
