CALHM1 calcium homeostasis modulator 1

Gene ID: 255022, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FAM26C

Summary

This gene encodes a calcium channel that plays a role in processing of amyloid-beta precursor protein. A polymorphism at this locus has been reported to be associated with susceptibility to late-onset Alzheimer's disease in some populations, but the pathogenicity of this polymorphism is unclear.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
