Gene: NICN1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This protein encoded by this gene localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in numerous tissues including brain, testis, liver, and kidney. This refseq contains genomic sequence in its 3' UTR which is not supported by experimental evidence. Computer predictions indicate that this region of the 3' UTR contains hairpin-forming self-complementary sequence which is possibly excised after transcription. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome X.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p21.31

Description of this Gene: nicolin 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
