Gene: SON
Alternate names for this Gene: BASS1|C21orf50|DBP-5|NREBP|SON3|TOKIMS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that contains multiple simple repeats. The encoded protein binds RNA and promotes pre-mRNA splicing, particularly of transcripts with poor splice sites. The protein also recognizes a specific DNA sequence found in the human hepatitis B virus (HBV) and represses HBV core promoter activity. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 21
Location in Chromosome : 21q22.11
Description of this Gene: SON DNA and RNA binding protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
