Ependymin
For example, this glycoprotein interaction in the extracellular matrix influences cell adhesion and migration processes in the central nervous system of fishes. The presence of ependymin-related proteins can be found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. They have variety of functional roles in non-neural sites. For example, an ependymin-related gene known as UCC1 since it is upregulated in colon cancer was found in colorectal tumor cells in humans.
