VSIG1

This gene encodes a member of the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family. The encoded protein
contains multiple glycosylation sites at the N-terminal region, and multiple phosphorylation sites and
glutamic acid/proline (EP) repeats at the C-terminal region. The gene is expressed in normal stomach
and testis, as well as in gastric, esophageal and ovarian cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
