Description
HEPACAM2 (HEPACAM Family Member 2) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a protein related to the immunoglobulin superfamily that plays a role in mitosis. Knockdown of this gene results in prometaphase arrest, abnormal nuclear morphology, and apoptosis. HepaCAM2, together with HEPACAM1, are cell adhesion molecules. HEPACAM1 modulates cell adhesion and migration. It also inhibits cancer cell growth. HepaCAM2 contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. The immunoglobulin domain is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of between 7 and 9 antiparallel β-strands arranged in two β-sheets with a Greek key topology. Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily are found in hundreds of proteins of different functions
