Gene ID: 84283, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MATT

Summary

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell maturation; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of epidermis development. Predicted to act upstream of or within cornification; cuticle development; and hair follicle morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; lysosome; and membrane. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane and trans-Golgi network membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
