Gene: NID1

Alternate names for this Gene: NID

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nidogen family of basement membrane glycoproteins. The protein interacts with several other components of basement membranes, and may play a role in cell interactions with the extracellular matrix.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q42.3

Description of this Gene: nidogen 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
