Official gene symbol | | ESM1 |
Full name | | endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 |
Aliases | | ,endocan, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a secreted protein which is mainly expressed in the endothelial cells in human lung and kidney tissues. The expression of this gene is regulated by cytokines, suggesting that it may play a role in endothelium-dependent pathological disorders. The transcript contains multiple polyadenylation and mRNA instability signals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
