Anosmin 1 is a
protein that in
humans is encoded by the ANOS1
gene.
[
]
Function
Mutations in this gene cause the
X-linked Kallmann Syndrome. The encoded
protein is similar in sequence to proteins known to function in
neural cell adhesion and
axonal migration. In addition, this
cell surface protein is
N-glycosylated
''N''-linked glycosylation, is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), i ...

antiprotease
In biology and biochemistry, protease inhibitors, or antiproteases, are molecules that inhibit the function of proteases (enzymes that aid the breakdown of proteins). Many naturally occurring protease inhibitors are proteins.
In medicine, ''prot ...
