Gene: VANGL2
Alternate names for this Gene: LPP1|LTAP|STB1|STBM|STBM1
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein involved in the regulation of planar cell polarity, especially in the stereociliary bundles of the cochlea. The encoded protein transmits directional signals to individual cells or groups of cells in epithelial sheets. This protein is also involved in the development of the neural plate.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1q23.2
Description of this Gene: VANGL planar cell polarity protein 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
