Normal role description: CSMD1 is a transmembrane protein and may have roles in regulating classical complement activation, inflammation, signal transduction and development of central nervous system. Function remains unknown. It is found expressed on neuronal and epithelial tissues. In cancer, its expression is found to be reduced and the region of chromosome coding this gene is often deleted.
