MCIDAS multiciliate differentiation and DNA synthesis associated cell cycle protein

Gene ID: 345643, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MCI; IDAS; MCIN; CILD42

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the geminin family of proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is required for the generation of multiciliated cells in respiratory epithelium. Mutations in this gene cause a rare mucociliary clearance disorder associated with recurring respiratory infections in human patients, known as reduced generation of multiple motile cilia (RGMC).
