BOC cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated

Symbol

BOC (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin/fibronectin type III repeat family. It is a component of a cell-surface receptor complex that mediates cell-cell interactions between muscle precursor cells, and promotes myogenic differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
