PMEPA1 prostate transmembrane protein, androgen induced 1

Gene ID: 56937, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: STAG1; TMEPAI

Summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that contains a Smad interacting motif (SIM). Expression of this gene is induced by androgens and transforming growth factor beta, and the encoded protein suppresses the androgen receptor and transforming growth factor beta signaling pathways though interactions with Smad proteins. Overexpression of this gene may play a role in multiple types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
