Gene: TRA2A

Alternate names for this Gene: AWMS1|HSU53209

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the transformer 2 homolog family and encodes a protein with several RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. This phosphorylated nuclear protein binds to specific RNA sequences and plays a role in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p15.3

Description of this Gene: transformer 2 alpha homolog

Type of Gene: protein-coding
