Dscam4
Name
Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule 4
Synonyms
  • CG13672
  • CG18630
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules and nervous system development. Predicted to be active in axon and plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult head. Orthologous to human DSCAM (DS cell adhesion molecule) and DSCAML1 (DS cell adhesion molecule like 1).
FB Description
Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule 4 (Dscam4) one of four Dscam paralogs in the D. melanogaster genome. It encodes a homophilic cell adhesion molecule that regulates interactions between dendrites and axons in the visual system.
