gene: gpn-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in several processes, including epidermis morphogenesis; nematode larval development; and neuron migration. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Expressed in neuroblasts and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Keipert syndrome; hepatocellular carcinoma; and omodysplasia 1. Is an ortholog of several human genes including GPC1 (glypican 1); GPC4 (glypican 4); and GPC6 (glypican 6).
