Gene: SMIM1

Alternate names for this Gene: Vel

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a small, conserved protein that participates in red blood cell formation. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and is the antigen for the Vel blood group. Alternative splicing results in different transcript variants that encode the same protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.32

Description of this Gene: small integral membrane protein 1 (Vel blood group)

Type of Gene: protein-coding
