OSTM1 osteoclastogenesis associated transmembrane protein 1

Gene ID: 28962, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GL; GIPN; OPTB5; HSPC019

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in the degradation of G proteins via the ubiquitin-dependent proteasome pathway. The encoded protein binds to members of subfamily A of the regulator of the G-protein signaling (RGS) family through an N-terminal leucine-rich region. This protein also has a central RING finger-like domain and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. This protein is highly conserved from flies to humans. Defects in this gene may cause the autosomal recessive, infantile malignant form of osteopetrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
