NCIt definition : Human ICAM4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19p13.2 and is approximately
2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes intercellular adhesion molecule 4 protein,
plays a role in cellular adhesion and integrin binding. Variation at codon 100 of
this gene is the determinant for the Landsteiner-Wiener (LW) blood group.;
