Cspg4 chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 121021)

Symbol: Cspg4

Full name: chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: 4732461B14Rik; AN2; Cspg4a; NG2

Summary: Enables coreceptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and ruffle assembly. Located in plasma membrane and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; jaw; respiratory system; retina; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human CSPG4 (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4).
