UQCC1 ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex assembly factor 1

Gene ID: 55245, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BFZB; CBP3; UQCC; C20orf44

Summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is structurally similar to the mouse basic fibroblast growth factor repressed ZIC-binding protein. In mouse this protein may be involved in fibroblast growth factor regulated growth control. In humans, polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variation in human height and osteoarthritis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
