Name | TPBG |
---|---|
Synonyms | 5T4 |
Function | May function as an inhibitor of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling by indirectly interacting with LRP6 and blocking Wnt3a-dependent LRP6 internalization. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed by all types of trophoblasts as early as 9 weeks of development. Specific for trophoblastic cells except for amniotic epithelium. In adult tissues, the expression is limited to a few epithelial cell types but is found on a variety of carcinoma |

Background
This gene encodes a leucine-rich transmembraneglycoprotein that may be involved in cell adhesion. The encodedprotein is an oncofetal antigen that is specific to trophoblastcells. In adults this protein is highly expressed in many tumorcells and is associated with poor clinical outcome in numerouscancers. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multipletranscript variants that encode the same protein. [provided byRefSeq].
