AMMECR1 AMMECR nuclear protein 1

Gene ID: 9949, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MFHIEN; AMMERC1

Summary

The exact function of this gene is not known, however, submicroscopic deletion of the X chromosome including this gene, COL4A5, and FACL4 genes, result in a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, the AMME complex (Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
