Gene: QKI

Alternate names for this Gene: Hqk|QK|QK1|QK3|hqkI

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA-binding protein that regulates pre-mRNA splicing, export of mRNAs from the nucleus, protein translation, and mRNA stability. The encoded protein is involved in myelinization and oligodendrocyte differentiation and may play a role in schizophrenia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q26
