Gene: TBC1D8B

Alternate names for this Gene: GRAMD8B|NPHS20

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with a TBC (Tre-2/Bub2/CDC16) domain. Some mammalian proteins with this domain have been shown to function as Rab-GAPs by binding to specific Rab proteins and affecting their GTPase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xq22.3

Description of this Gene: TBC1 domain family member 8B

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: MORC4

Alternate names for this Gene: ZCW4|ZCWCC2|dJ75H8.2

Gene Summary: In human, the four current members of the microrchidia (morc) gene family share an N-terminal ATPase-like ATP-binding region and a CW four-cysteine zinc-finger motif. The protein encoded by this gene also has a nuclear matrix binding domain and a two-stranded coiled-coil motif near its C-terminus. This gene is widely expressed at low levels in normal tissues and has elevated expression in placenta and testis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins.
