Gene: IQCK

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the IQ motif-containing family of proteins. The IQ motif serves as a binding site for different EF-hand proteins such as calmodulin. This gene was identified as a potential candidate gene for obsessive-compulsive disorder in a genome-wide association study. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16p12.3

Description of this Gene: IQ motif containing K

Type of Gene: protein-coding
