LIN7A, Official Symbol LIN7Aprovided by HGNC Official Full Name lin-7 homolog A, crumbs cell polarity complex componentprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17787 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000111052 MIM:603380; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17787 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as LIN7; MALS1; VELI1; LIN-7A; MALS-1; TIP-33 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is involved in generating and maintaining the asymmetric distribution of channels and receptors at the cell membrane. The encoded protein also is required for the localization of some specific channels and can be part of a protein complex that couples synaptic vesicle exocytosis to cell adhesion in the brain.
