Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: GC1; OLM4; OlfD; GW112; hGC-1; hOLfD; UNQ362; bA209J19.1
Summary: This gene was originally cloned from human myeloblasts and found to be selectively expressed in inflammed colonic epithelium. This gene encodes a member of the olfactomedin family. The encoded protein is an antiapoptotic factor that promotes tumor growth and is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that facilitates cell adhesion. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Three of the eight CpG sites in the OLFM4 gene promoter region were hypermethylated in cancerous prostate cells and reduced methylation of eight CpG sites was associated with increased OLFM4 mRNA expression. Findings suggest that OLFM4 plays an important tumor-suppressor role in prostate cancer progression and might be useful as a novel candidate biomarker for prostate cancer.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
