NCKAP1L NCK associated protein 1 like

Gene ID: 3071, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HEM1; IMD72

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the HEM family of tissue-specific transmembrane proteins which are highly conserved from invertebrates through mammals. This gene is only expressed in hematopoietic cells. The encoded protein is a part of the Scar/WAVE complex which plays an important role in regulating cell shape in both metazoans and plants. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
