Gene: CRBN

Alternate names for this Gene: MRT2|MRT2A

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein related to the Lon protease protein family. In rodents and other mammals this gene product is found in the cytoplasm localized with a calcium channel membrane protein, and is thought to play a role in brain development. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic cognitive disability. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p26.2

Description of this Gene: cereblon

Type of Gene: protein-coding
