- Description
- Involved in several processes, including epiboly involved in gastrulation with mouth forming second; liver development; and posterior lateral line neuromast primordium migration. Localizes to basolateral plasma membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 8. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; integument; pectoral fin bud; pronephros; and sensory system. Orthologous to human EPCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule).
