Nomenclature changes

05.22.2018 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 118429. From anthrax toxin receptor 2 to ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 2

summary from NCBI

This gene encodes a receptor for anthrax toxin. The protein binds to collagen IV and laminin, suggesting that it may be involved in extracellular matrix adhesion. Mutations in this gene cause juvenile hyaline fibromatosis and infantile systemic hyalinosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
