Gene information for CD99 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4267
Official gene symbolCD99
Full nameCD99 molecule
Aliases,HBA71,MIC2,MIC2X,MIC2Y,MSK5X,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in leukocyte migration, T-cell adhesion, ganglioside GM1 and transmembrane protein transport, and T-cell death by a caspase-independent pathway. In addition, the encoded protein may have the ability to rearrange the actin cytoskeleton and may also act as an oncosuppressor in osteosarcoma. Cyclophilin A binds to CD99 and may act as a signaling regulator of CD99. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region of chromosomes X and Y and escapes X-chromosome inactivation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
