Gene: NDRG4

Alternate names for this Gene: BDM1|SMAP-8|SMAP8

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that is required for cell cycle progression and survival in primary astrocytes and may be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signalling in vascular smooth muscles cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16q21

Description of this Gene: NDRG family member 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
