ATXN10 ataxin 10

Gene ID: 25814, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: E46L; ATX10; SCA10; HUMEEP

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may function in neuron survival, neuron differentiation, and neuritogenesis. These roles may be carried out via activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. Expansion of an ATTCT repeat from 9-32 copies to 800-4500 copies in an intronic region of this locus has been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia, type 10. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
