Gene: PKDREJ

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This intronless gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains 11 transmembrane domains, a receptor for egg jelly (REJ) domain, a G-protein-coupled receptor proteolytic site (GPS) domain, and a polycystin-1, lipoxygenase, alpha-toxin (PLAT) domain. This protein may play a role in human reproduction. Alternative splice variants have been described but their biological natures have not been determined.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.31

Description of this Gene: polycystin family receptor for egg jelly

Type of Gene: protein-coding
