Summary
This gene encodes a small, conserved protein that participates in red blood cell formation. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and is the antigen for the Vel blood group. Alternative splicing results in different transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
Expression
Broad expression in testis (RPKM 6.7), bone marrow (RPKM 6.0) and 14 other tissues See more

  6. the present study demonstrated that although the SMIM1*64_80del allele is responsible for some variation of Vel phenotype in this donor population, Vel expression is also controlled by molecular changes in SMIM1 intron 2.

  7. rs1175550G and to a lesser extent rs143702418C independently increase SMIM1 and Vel antigen expression.
    Title: SMIM1 variants rs1175550 and rs143702418 independently modulate Vel blood group antigen expression.
  8. Among the 448 samples analysed, 10 (2.23%) harboured the 17 bp deletion of the gene SMIM1, and all were heterozygote for the SMIM1*64_80 del allele.
    Title: Screening for the SMIM1*64_80 del Allele in blood donors in a population from Southern Brazil.
  9. Alleles that initially entered the population have been maintained within the population. The c.64_80del null allele of SMIM1 is one such allele, thus having implications for transfusion medicine and child or maternal health.
    Title: The c.64_80del SMIM1 allele is segregating in the Hutterite population.
  10. SMIM1 carries the Vel antigen as a type II membrane protein with a predicted C-terminal extracellular domain of only 3-12 amino acids
    Title: SMIM1 is a type II transmembrane phosphoprotein and displays the Vel blood group antigen at its carboxyl-terminus.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
