The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein is a transmembrane component of desmosomes and may play a role in cell-cell adhesion in epithelial cells. Mutations in the gene are associated with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and monilethrix, characterized by impaired hair growth. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Component of intercellular desmosome junctions. Involved in the interaction of plaque proteins and intermediate filaments mediating cell-cell adhesion. Coordinates the transition from proliferation to differentiation in hair follicle keratinocytes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Cadherin C| |Cadherin| |desmosome| |cornified envelope| |hair follicle development| |skin epidermis development| |molting cycle process| |hair cycle process| |BMP signaling pathway| |hair cycle| |molting cycle| |cellular response to BMP stimulus| |response to BMP| |cornification| |homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules| |cell-cell junction| |transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway| |keratinization| |cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules| |keratinocyte differentiation| |epidermal cell differentiation| |skin development| |epidermis development| |cellular response to growth factor stimulus| |cell-cell adhesion| |response to growth factor| |epithelial cell differentiation| |enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway| |calcium ion binding| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |programmed cell death| |cell death| |epithelium development| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |response to endogenous stimulus| |tissue development| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp271|CCT251545 0.2μM R06 exp271]]|-1.78| |[[:results:exp421|VHL-ligand-1 20μM R07 exp421]]|-1.7| |[[:results:exp437|Ethanol 0.003 R08 exp437]]|2.11| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.458| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 13214 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: -7.68 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
