GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RECK (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hRECK, ST15
Description
Reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a cysteine-rich, extracellular protein with protease inhibitor-like domains whose expression is suppressed strongly in many tumors and cells transformed by various kinds of oncogenes. In normal cells, this membrane-anchored glycoprotein may serve as a negative regulator for matrix metalloproteinase-9, a key enzyme involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
