Gene: [11p15/NELL1] nel (chicken)-like 1;

COM

By using fluorescence in situ hybridization the NELL1 gene was mapped to human chromosome 11p15.2-p15.1 (Watanabe-1996)."

MOP

The NELL1 open reading frame encodes an 810-amino acid polypeptide. The NELL1 amino acid sequence includes a secretory signal sequence but no transmembrane domains and exhibits 50% identity to that of chicken 'nel.' The NELL1 was expressed weakly as a 3.5-kb transcript in human adult and fetal brain and kidney tissues (Watanabe-1996)."

FAG

Two NELL genes whose sequences contained 6 EGF-like repeats and resembled the chicken gene 'nel' have been found (Watanabe-1996). On nel-like 2 gene see in GEM:12q131/NELL2."
