Cdon - cell adhesion molecule-related/down-regulated by oncogenes

Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb bud; and sensory organ. Used to study holoprosencephaly 11. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly 11. Orthologous to human CDON (cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
