Gene: PHIP
Alternate names for this Gene: BRWD2|CHUJANS|DCAF14|DIDOD|WDR11|ndrp
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that binds to the insulin receptor substrate 1 protein and regulates glucose transporter translocation in skeletal muscle cells. The encoded protein may also regulate growth and survival of pancreatic beta cells. Elevated copy number of this gene may be associated with melanoma severity and the encoded protein may promote melanoma metastasis in human patients.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q14.1
Description of this Gene: pleckstrin homology domain interacting protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
