Gene: ESM1

Alternate names for this Gene: endocan

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a secreted protein which is mainly expressed in the endothelial cells in human lung and kidney tissues. The expression of this gene is regulated by cytokines, suggesting that it may play a role in endothelium-dependent pathological disorders. The transcript contains multiple polyadenylation and mRNA instability signals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q11.2

Description of this Gene: endothelial cell specific molecule 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
