MIA2 MIA SH3 domain ER export factor 2

Gene ID: 4253, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MEA6; MGEA; TALI; MGEA6; CTAGE5; MGEA11

Summary

This gene encodes s receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum, which plays a role in the export of large pre-chylomicrons and pre-very low density lipoproteins (pre-VLDLs). Three major classes of transcripts are generated from this gene- melanoma inhibitory activity 2-specific transcripts, cTAGE family member 5-specific transcripts and transcripts that include exons from both these transcript species (TANGO1-like or TALI). Additionally, alternative splicing in these transcripts results in multiple transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
