SAMD4A sterile alpha motif domain containing 4A

Gene ID: 23034, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SMG; SMGA; SAMD4; SMAUG; SMAUG1

Summary

Sterile alpha motifs (SAMs) in proteins such as SAMD4A are part of an RNA-binding domain that functions as a posttranscriptional regulator by binding to an RNA sequence motif known as the Smaug recognition element, which was named after the Drosophila Smaug protein (Baez and Boccaccio, 2005 [PubMed 16221671]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
