{"symbol":"CD164","synonyms":["MGC-24v","MGC-24","DFNA66","ENDOLYN","MUC-24"],"name":"CD164 molecule, sialomucin","description":"This gene encodes a transmembrane sialomucin and cell adhesion molecule that regulates the proliferation, adhesion and migration of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The encoded protein also interacts with the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 and may regulate muscle development. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in human patients with Sezary syndrome, a type of blood cancer, and a mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired hearing.
