Gene information for GPC4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2239
Official gene symbolGPC4
Full nameglypican 4
Aliases,K-glypican,
Gene summaryCell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. The GPC4 gene is adjacent to the 3' end of GPC3 and may also play a role in Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome.
