NPAP1 nuclear pore associated protein 1

Gene ID: 23742, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C15orf2

Summary

This intronless retrogene is located in the Prader-Willi syndrome region on chromosome 15. This gene exhibits tissue-specific imprinting. Expression in adult testis and brain is biallelic, while expression in fetal brain is monoallelic and only from the paternal chromosome. The encoded protein is associated with the nuclear pore complex. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2021]
