Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.1.1)
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including camera-type eye development; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb bud; and sensory organ. Used to study holoprosencephaly 11. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly 11. Orthologous to human CDON (cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated).
