VANGL1 VANGL planar cell polarity protein 1

Gene ID: 81839, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LPP2; STB2; STBM2; KITENIN

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tretraspanin family. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating intestinal trefoil factor induced wound healing in the intestinal mucosa. Mutations in this gene are associated with neural tube defects. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
