Function
(Microbial infection) Serves as a receptor for Listeria monocytogenes; internalin A (InlA) binds to this protein and promotes uptake of the bacteria.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in granuloma macrophages (at protein level). Expressed in the skin (at protein level). Expressed in the basal epithelial layer of the esophageal epithelium (at protein level). Expressed in the liver
Disease Association: Diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer syndrome (DGLBC) : A cancer predisposition syndrome with increased susceptibility to diffuse gastric cancer. Diffuse gastric cancer is a malignant disease characterized by poorly differentiated infiltrating lesions resulting in thickening of the stomach. Malignant tumors start in the stomach, can spread to the esophagus or the small intestine, and can extend through the stomach wall to nearby lymph nodes and organs. It also can metastasize to other parts of the body. In addition to gastric cancer, most female mutation carriers develop lobular carcinoma of the breast. [Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Heterozygous CDH1 germline mutations are responsible for familial cases of diffuse gastric cancer. Somatic mutations has also been found in patients with sporadic diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer] | Endometrial cancer (ENDMC) : A malignancy of endometrium, the mucous lining of the uterus. Most endometrial cancers are adenocarcinomas, cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids. [Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Ovarian cancer (OC) : The term ovarian cancer defines malignancies originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian tumors have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease.

[The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis] | Blepharocheilodontic syndrome 1 (BCDS1) : A form of blepharocheilodontic syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder. It is characterized by lower eyelid ectropion, upper eyelid distichiasis, euryblepharon, bilateral cleft lip and palate, and features of ectodermal dysplasia, including hair anomalies, conical teeth and tooth agenesis. An additional rare manifestation is imperforate anus. There is considerable phenotypic variability among affected individuals.
