Gene: RTL1

Alternate names for this Gene: HUR1|MART1|Mar1|PEG11|SIRH2

Gene Summary: This gene is a retrotransposon-derived, paternally expressed imprinted gene that is highly expressed at the late fetal stage in both the fetus and placenta. It has an overlapping maternally expressed antisense transcript, which contains several microRNAs targeting the transcripts of this gene through an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism. This gene is essential for maintenance of the fetal capillaries.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q32.2-q32.31

Description of this Gene: retrotransposon Gag like 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
