SDC4, Syndecan-4, SYND4, Amphiglycan, Ryudocan core protein
The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan that functions as a receptor in intracellular signaling. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family. This gene is found on chromosome 20, while a pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate.,function:Cell surface proteoglycan.,similarity:Belongs to the syndecan proteoglycan family.,subunit:Homodimer. Interacts with CDCP1, with GIPC PDZ domain and with NUDT16L1/SDOS (By similarity). Interacts with SDCBP.,tissue specificity:Expressed in epithelial and fibroblastic cells.,
