Gene information for TPBG (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7162
Official gene symbolTPBG
Full nametrophoblast glycoprotein
Aliases,5T4,5T4AG,M6P1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a leucine-rich transmembrane glycoprotein that may be involved in cell adhesion. The encoded protein is an oncofetal antigen that is specific to trophoblast cells. In adults this protein is highly expressed in many tumor cells and is associated with poor clinical outcome in numerous cancers. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
