Gene information for ESM1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11082
Official gene symbolESM1
Full nameendothelial cell-specific molecule 1
Aliases,endocan,
Gene summaryThis 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]
