AAMP angio associated migratory cell protein [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 14)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 14)
Symbol: AAMP
Full name: angio associated migratory cell protein
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: The gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein is associated with angiogenesis, with potential roles in endothelial tube formation and the migration of endothelial cells. It may also regulate smooth muscle cell migration via the RhoA pathway. The encoded protein can bind to heparin and may mediate heparin-sensitive cell adhesion. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
