Full name: glypican 6

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Summary: Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane; regulation of presynapse assembly; and synaptic membrane adhesion. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in omodysplasia 1. Orthologous to human GPC6 (glypican 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
