Gene: UCN

Alternate names for this Gene: UI|UROC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptide, an endogenous ligand for both corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 and corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2. In the brain this peptide may be responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. This peptide may also play a role in mood disorders, neurodegeneration, and skeletal system disorders. In spite of the gene family name similarity, the product of this gene has no sequence similarity to urotensin-2.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p23.3

Description of this Gene: urocortin

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: MPV17

Alternate names for this Gene: CMT2EE|MTDPS6|SYM1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is implicated in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the hepatocerebral form of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS).
