Gene: VIT

Alternate names for this Gene: VIT1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. The protein may be associated with cell adhesion and migration. High levels of expression of the protein in specific parts of the brain suggest its likely role in neural development.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p22.2

Description of this Gene: vitrin

Type of Gene: protein-coding
