Gene: RGMA

Alternate names for this Gene: RGM

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the repulsive guidance molecule family. The encoded protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that functions as an axon guidance protein in the developing and adult central nervous system. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor in some cancers. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q26.1

Description of this Gene: repulsive guidance molecule BMP co-receptor a

Type of Gene: protein-coding
