Gene: SLC27A6

Alternate names for this Gene: ACSVL2|FACVL2|FATP6|VLCS-H1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the fatty acid transport protein family (FATP). FATPs are involved in the uptake of long-chain fatty acids and have unique expression patterns. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q23.3

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 27 member 6

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: FBN2

Alternate names for this Gene: CCA|DA9|EOMD

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a component of connective tissue microfibrils and may be involved in elastic fiber assembly. Mutations in this gene cause congenital contractural arachnodactyly.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q23.3

Description of this Gene: fibrillin 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
