Gene

BCAM

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
BCAM
Name
basal cell adhesion molecule (Lutheran blood group)
Synonyms
  • antigen identified by monoclonal antibody F8
  • AU
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables laminin binding activity and laminin receptor activity. Involved in cell-matrix adhesion. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular exosome. Is active in plasma membrane.
RGD Description
This gene encodes Lutheran blood group glycoprotein, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a receptor for the extracellular matrix protein, laminin. The protein contains five extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a single transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. This protein may play a role in epithelial cell cancer and in vaso-occlusion of red blood cells in sickle cell disease. Polymorphisms in this gene define some of the antigens in the Lutheran system and also the Auberger system. Inactivating variants of this gene result in the recessive Lutheran null phenotype, Lu(a-b-), of the Lutheran blood group. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
