Endomucin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EMCN gene.[5][6][7] Endomucin is a marker for endothelial cells[8] and hematopoietic stem cells.[9]

Function

EMCN is a mucin-like sialoglycoprotein that interferes with the assembly of focal adhesion complexes and inhibits interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix.[5][7]
