Gene ID: 124512, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRT44; C17orf95

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene functions as a transcription factor regulator in the transcriptional pathway for human cognition. It is a partner of the alpha subunit of the GA-binding protein transcription factor. Mutations in this gene cause mild autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
