Gene: GNAZ

Alternate names for this Gene: gz-alpha

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a G protein subfamily that mediates signal transduction in pertussis toxin-insensitive systms. This encoded protein may play a role in maintaining the ionic balance of perilymphatic and endolymphatic cochlear fluids.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q11.22-q11.23

Description of this Gene: G protein subunit alpha z

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: RSPH14

Alternate names for this Gene: RTDR1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with no known function but with slight similarity to a yeast vacuolar protein. The gene is located in a region deleted in pediatric rhabdoid tumors of the brain, kidney and soft tissues, but mutations in this gene have not been associated with the disease.
