Disease relevance of AMMECR1

  • In our effort to isolate additional genes from the deleted region, we have identified the gene named AMMECR1 (Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis chromosomal region gene 1) [1].
 

High impact information on AMMECR1

  • Exon 2 of AMMECR1 encodes a domain consisting of six amino acids identically conserved throughout the course of evolution and whose function is as yet unknown [1].
  • The murine and human orthologs show 96.5% (FACL4) and 95.2% (AMMECR1) identity at the amino acid level, with conservation of the respective putative subcellular localization signals [2].
