Gene: MIA2

Alternate names for this Gene: CTAGE5|MEA6|MGEA|MGEA11|MGEA6|TALI

Gene Summary: This gene encodes s receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum, which plays a role in the export of large pre-chylomicrons and pre-very low density lipoproteins (pre-VLDLs). Three major classes of transcripts are generated from this gene- melanoma inhibitory activity 2-specific transcripts, cTAGE family member 5-specific transcripts and transcripts that include exons from both these transcript species (TANGO1-like or TALI). Additionally, alternative splicing in these transcripts results in multiple transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q21.1

Description of this Gene: MIA SH3 domain ER export factor 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
