Gene: PEF1

Alternate names for this Gene: ABP32|PEF1A

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein belonging to the penta-EF-hand protein family. The encoded protein has been shown to form a heterodimer with the programmed cell death 6 gene product and may modulate its function in Ca(2+) signaling. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants and a pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 1.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p35.2

Description of this Gene: penta-EF-hand domain containing 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
