Gene: SMG9
Alternate names for this Gene: C19orf61|F17127_1|HBMS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a regulatory subunit of the SMG1 complex, which plays a critical role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Binding of the encoded protein to the SMG1 complex kinase scaffold protein results in the inhibition of its kinase activity. Mutations in this gene cause a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome in human patients, characterized by brain malformation, congenital heart disease and other features.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.31
Description of this Gene: SMG9 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor
Type of Gene: protein-coding
