lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1
Symbol
LYVE1
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a type I integral membrane glycoprotein. The encoded protein acts as a receptor and binds to both soluble and immobilized hyaluronan. This protein may function in lymphatic hyaluronan transport and have a role in tumor metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
