ANO9 anoctamin 9

Gene ID: 338440, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PIG5; TP53I5; TMEM16J

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TMEM16 (anoctamin) family of proteins, some of which form integral membrane calcium-activated chloride channels. The function of the encoded protein has yet to be elucidated, although it may have channel-forming abilities and also may have phospholipid scramblase activity. This gene has been observed to be upregulated in stage II and III colorectal cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
