Ectodysplasin A (EDA) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDA gene.

Ectodysplasin A is a

TNF family which plays an important role in the development of ectodermal tissues such as skin in humans.[3][4] It is recognized by the ectodysplasin A receptor
.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that can be cleaved by

isoforms have been found for this gene.[4] At least 61 disease-causing mutations in this gene have been discovered.[6]
