lect-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Involved in innervation; regulation of dendrite extension; and regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Located in basement membrane; cell surface; and somatodendritic compartment. Expressed in body wall musculature; coelomocyte; head neurons; and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. Is an ortholog of human LECT2 (leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2).
