YWHAH tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein eta

Gene ID: 7533, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: YWHA1

Summary

This gene product belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. This highly conserved protein family is found in both plants and mammals, and this protein is 99% identical to the mouse, rat and bovine orthologs. This gene contains a 7 bp repeat sequence in its 5' UTR, and changes in the number of this repeat have been associated with early-onset schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder.
