C1QTNF5 C1q and TNF related 5

Gene ID: 114902, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MFRP; CTRP5

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that function as components of basement membranes and may play a role in cell adhesion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with late-onset retinal degeneration. The protein may be encoded by either a bicistronic transcript including sequence from the upstream membrane frizzled-related protein gene (MFRP), or by a monocistronic transcript expressed from an internal promoter.
