Sialomucin core protein 24 also known as endolyn or CD164 (
cluster of differentiation 164) is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CD164''
gene.
CD164 functions as a
cell adhesion molecule.
Sialomucins are a heterogeneous group of secreted or membrane-associated
mucins that appear to play two key but opposing roles in vivo: first as cytoprotective or antiadhesive agents, and second as adhesion receptors. CD164 is a type I integral transmembrane sialomucin that functions as an adhesion receptor.
