Gene Information

human ... GCM1(8521)

General description

The gene GCM1 (glial cells missing homolog 1) is mapped to human chromosome 6p12. It belongs to the glial cells missing (GCM) family. GCM1 is present in villous cytotrophoblast cells, the syncytiotrophoblast layer and extravillous trophoblast cells.

Immunogen

GCM1 (NP_003634, 108 a.a. ~ 166 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GCM1 (glial cells missing homolog 1) is a transcription factor that is specific for placenta. It plays an important role in trophoblast cell fusion and invasion by enhancing the expression of syncytin-1 and syncytin-2 fusogenic proteins and high-temperature requirement protein A4 (HtrA4), a serine protease. Disruption in the activity of this gene can result in defective placental development, thereby leading to embryonic death.
