Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** - The CEACAMP7 gene is a large gene with a complex structure. - It contains multiple domains, including a extracellular domain, a cytoplasmic domain, and a transmembrane domain. - The extracellular domain is responsible for binding to other proteins. - The cytoplasmic domain is involved in cell adhesion. - The transmembrane domain is responsible for mediating cell adhesion. **Pathways and functions:** - The CEACAMP7 gene is involved in cell adhesion. - It is expressed in neurons, which are cells that are responsible for sending signals to other cells. - The protein encoded by the CEACAMP7 gene is involved in the formation of cell contacts, which are essential for cell adhesion. - Mutations in the CEACAMP7 gene have been linked to autism spectrum disorder. **Clinical significance:** The CEACAMP7 gene is a potential risk factor for autism spectrum disorder. Studies have shown that people with autism have a higher risk of having mutations in this gene. The CEACAMP7 gene has also been studied as a potential therapeutic target for autism. There are currently no drugs that specifically target the CEACAMP7 gene, but research is ongoing to develop new treatments that could potentially cure autism.
