Summary of HMMR
The gene codes for a protein, hyaluronan mediated motility receptor. It is found in breast tissue, and it forms a complex with BRCA1 and BRCA2. Therefore, it is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer [R].
The Function of HMMR
Involved in cell motility. When hyaluronan binds to HMMR, the phosphorylation of a number of proteins, including PTK2/FAK1 occurs. May also be involved in cellular transformation and metastasis formation, and in regulating extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) activity.

Advanced Summary
From NCBI Gene: Familial cancer of breast
From NCBI Gene: The protein encoded by this gene is involved in cell motility. It is expressed in breast tissue and together with other proteins, it forms a complex with BRCA1 and BRCA2, thus is potentially associated with higher risk of breast cancer . Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008] From UniProt: Involved in cell motility. When hyaluronan binds to HMMR, the phosphorylation of a number of proteins, including PTK2/FAK1 occurs. May also be involved in cellular transformation and metastasis formation, and in regulating extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) activity.
