Gene information for FAT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2196
Official gene symbolFAT2
Full nameFAT tumor suppressor homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Aliases,CDHF8,CDHR9,HFAT2,MEGF1,
Gene summaryThis gene is the second identified human homolog of the Drosophila fat gene, which encodes a tumor suppressor essential for controlling cell proliferation during Drosophila development. The gene product is a member of the cadherin superfamily, a group of integral membrane proteins characterized by the presence of cadherin-type repeats. In addition to containing 34 tandem cadherin-type repeats, the gene product has two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats and one laminin G domain. This protein most likely functions as a cell adhesion molecule, controlling cell proliferation and playing an important role in cerebellum development. [provided by RefSeq]
