Pecam1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity; protein phosphatase binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Located in several cellular components, including cell-cell contact zone; external side of plasma membrane; and smooth muscle contractile fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease; coronary stenosis; myocardial infarction; neuroblastoma; and psoriatic arthritis. Orthologous to human PECAM1 (platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
