Gene: PALLD
Alternate names for this Gene: CGI-151|CGI151|MYN|PNCA1|SIH002
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein that is required for organizing the actin cytoskeleton. The protein is a component of actin-containing microfilaments, and it is involved in the control of cell shape, adhesion, and contraction. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to pancreatic cancer type 1, and also with a risk for myocardial infarction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4q32.3
Description of this Gene: palladin, cytoskeletal associated protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
