SMG9 SMG9 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor

Gene ID: 56006, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HBMS; NEDITPO; C19orf61; F17127_1

Summary

This gene encodes a regulatory subunit of the SMG1 complex, which plays a critical role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Binding of the encoded protein to the SMG1 complex kinase scaffold protein results in the inhibition of its kinase activity. Mutations in this gene cause a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome in human patients, characterized by brain malformation, congenital heart disease and other features.
