CD164

Sialomucin core protein 24 also known as endolyn or CD164 (is_associated_with::cluster of differentiation 164) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CD164 is_associated_with::gene. CD164 functions as a is_associated_with::cell adhesion molecule.

is_associated_with::Sialomucins are a heterogeneous group of secreted or membrane-associated is_associated_with::mucins that appear to play two key but opposing roles in vivo: first as cytoprotective or antiadhesive agents, and second as adhesion receptors. CD164 is a type I integral transmembrane sialomucin that functions as an adhesion receptor.
