Gene information for MAG (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4099
Official gene symbolMAG
Full namemyelin associated glycoprotein
Aliases,GMA,S-MAG,SIGLEC-4A,SIGLEC4A,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is thought to be involved in the process of myelination. It is a lectin that binds to sialylated glycoconjugates and mediates certain myelin-neuron cell-cell interactions. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
