SMG1 SMG1 nonsense mediated mRNA decay associated PI3K related kinase

Gene ID: 23049, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ATX; LIP; 61E3.4

Summary

This gene encodes a protein involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) as part of the mRNA surveillance complex. The protein has kinase activity and is thought to function in NMD by phosphorylating the regulator of nonsense transcripts 1 protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full-length nature has yet to be determined. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
