Gene information for HMCN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83872
Official gene symbolHMCN1
Full namehemicentin 1
Aliases,ARMD1,FBLN6,FIBL-6,FIBL6,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a large extracellular member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. A similar protein in C. elegans forms long, fine tracks at specific extracellular sites that are involved in many processes such as stabilization of the germline syncytium, anchorage of mechanosensory neurons to the epidermis, and organization of hemidesmosomes in the epidermis. Mutations in this gene may be associated with age-related macular degeneration. [provided by RefSeq]
