Description:basigin (Ok blood group)
The protein encoded by this gene, basigin, is a plasma membrane protein that is important in spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation, and tumor progression. Basigin is also a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, ubiquitously expressed in various tissues. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
