epithelial cell adhesion molecule |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity involved in cell-cell adhesion. Acts upstream of or within ureteric bud development. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 8. Orthologous to human EPCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
