Gene: CTU2

Alternate names for this Gene: C16orf84|MFRG|NCS2|UPF0432

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16q24.3

Description of this Gene: cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: PIEZO1

Alternate names for this Gene: DHS|FAM38A|LMPH3|LMPHM6|Mib

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a mechanically-activated ion channel that links mechanical forces to biological signals. The encoded protein contains 36 transmembrane domains and functions as a homotetramer. Defects in this gene have been associated with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis.
