Gene: DCSTAMP

Alternate names for this Gene: FIND|TM7SF4|hDC-STAMP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a seven-pass transmembrane protein that is primarily expressed in dendritic cells. The encoded protein is involved in a range of immunological functions carried out by dendritic cells. This protein plays a role in osteoclastogenesis and myeloid differentiation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q22.3

Description of this Gene: dendrocyte expressed seven transmembrane protein

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: DPYS

Alternate names for this Gene: DHP|DHPase

Gene Summary: Dihydropyrimidinase catalyzes the conversion of 5,6-dihydrouracil to 3-ureidopropionate in pyrimidine metabolism. Dihydropyrimidinase is expressed at a high level in liver and kidney as a major 2.5-kb transcript and a minor 3.8-kb transcript. Defects in the DPYS gene are linked to dihydropyrimidinuria.
