Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| EPCAM | Epithelial cell adhesion molecule | May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosa… |
| TP53 | Cellular tumor antigen p53 | Multifunctional transcription factor that induces cell cycle arrest, DNA repair or apoptosis upon binding to its target DNA sequence. |
| PARVG | Gamma-parvin | Plays a role with ILK in promoting the cell adhesion and spreading of leukocytes. |
| ADISSP | Adipose-secreted signaling protein | Adipocyte-secreted protein (adipokine) that acts as a key regulator for white adipose tissue (WAT) thermogenesis and glucose homeostasis at least in part through activation of protein kinase A (PKA). |
| ISM1 | Isthmin-1 | Acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor. |
| CHEK2 | Serine/threonine-protein kinase Chk2 | Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is required for checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest, activation of DNA repair and apoptosis in response to the presence of DNA double-strand breaks. |
| DPP10 | Inactive dipeptidyl peptidase 10 | Promotes cell surface expression of the potassium channel KCND2. |
| SYMPK | Symplekin | Scaffold protein that functions as a component of a multimolecular complex involved in histone mRNA 3’-end processing. |
