Description
Product Characteristics: HEPACAM is involved in regulating cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. HEPACAM may inhibit cell growth through suppression of cell proliferation.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is involved in cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. The expression of this gene is downregulated or undetectable in many cancer cell lines, so this may be a tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
