Gene: METTL23

Alternate names for this Gene: C17orf95|MRT44

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene functions as a transcription factor regulator in the transcriptional pathway for human cognition. It is a partner of the alpha subunit of the GA-binding protein transcription factor. Mutations in this gene cause mild autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.1

Description of this Gene: methyltransferase like 23

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: JMJD6

Alternate names for this Gene: PSR|PTDSR|PTDSR1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear protein with a JmjC domain. JmjC domain-containing proteins are predicted to function as protein hydroxylases or histone demethylases. This protein was first identified as a putative phosphatidylserine receptor involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells; however, subsequent studies have indicated that it does not directly function in the clearance of apoptotic cells, and questioned whether it is a true phosphatidylserine receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
