Gene information for FAP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2191
Official gene symbolFAP
Full namefibroblast activation protein, alpha
Aliases,DKFZp686G13158,DPPIV,FAPA,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis.
