Gene: FRMD3
Alternate names for this Gene: 4.1O|EPB41L4O|EPB41LO|P410
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a single pass membrane protein primarily found in ovaries. A similar protein in erythrocytes helps determine the shape of red blood cells, but the function of the encoded protein has not been determined. There is some evidence that this is a tumor suppressor gene, and there is also evidence linking defects in this gene to susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetes. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 9
Location in Chromosome : 9q21.32
Description of this Gene: FERM domain containing 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
