ANKH ANKH inorganic pyrophosphate transport regulator

Gene ID: 56172, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ANK; CMDJ; HANK; MANK; CCAL2; CPPDD; SLC62A1

Summary

This gene encodes a multipass transmembrane protein that is expressed in joints and other tissues and controls pyrophosphate levels in cultured cells. Progressive ankylosis-mediated control of pyrophosphate levels has been suggested as a possible mechanism regulating tissue calcification and susceptibility to arthritis in higher animals. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant craniometaphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
