Gene: ARCN1

Alternate names for this Gene: COPD|SRMMD

Gene Summary: This gene maps in a region, which include the mixed lineage leukemia and Friend leukemia virus integration 1 genes, where multiple disease-associated chromosome translocations occur. It is an intracellular protein. Archain sequences are well conserved among eukaryotes and this protein may play a fundamental role in eukaryotic cell biology. It has similarities to heat shock proteins and clathrin-associated proteins, and may be involved in vesicle structure or trafficking.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q23.3

Description of this Gene: archain 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
