Full name: repulsive guidance molecule BMP co-receptor a

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: RGM

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
