Gene: EPDR1

Alternate names for this Gene: EPDR|MERP-1|MERP1|UCC1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane protein that is similar to two families of cell adhesion molecules, the protocadherins and ependymins. This protein may play a role in calcium-dependent cell adhesion. This protein is glycosylated, and the orthologous mouse protein is localized to the lysosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 8.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p14.1

Description of this Gene: ependymin related 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: NME8

Alternate names for this Gene: CILD6|HEL-S-99|NM23-H8|SPTRX2|TXNDC3|sptrx-2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with an N-terminal thioredoxin domain and three C-terminal nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) domains, but the NDK domains are thought to be catalytically inactive. The sea urchin ortholog of this gene encodes a component of sperm outer dynein arms, and the protein is implicated in ciliary function. Mutations in this gene are implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia type 6.
