VANGL2 VANGL planar cell polarity protein 2

Gene ID: 57216, updated on 11-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LPP1; LTAP; STB1; STBM; STBM1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein involved in the regulation of planar cell polarity, especially in the stereociliary bundles of the cochlea. The encoded protein transmits directional signals to individual cells or groups of cells in epithelial sheets. This protein is also involved in the development of the neural plate.
