Description
Sialomucin core protein 24 also known as endolyn or CD164, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD164 gene. CD164 functions as a cell adhesion molecule. This gene is mapped to 6q21. The encoded protein also interacts with the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 and may regulate muscle development. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in human patients with Sezary syndrome, a type of blood cancer, and a mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired hearing
