Gene: DZANK1

Alternate names for this Gene: ANKRD64|C20orf12|C20orf84

Gene Summary: This gene contains two ankyrin repeat-encoding regions. Ankyrin repeats are tandemly repeated modules of about 33 amino acids described as L-shaped structures consisting of a beta-hairpin and two alpha-helices. Ankyrin repeats occur in a large number of functionally diverse proteins, mainly from eukaryotes, and are known to function as protein-protein interaction domains.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20p11.23

Description of this Gene: double zinc ribbon and ankyrin repeat domains 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
