About RASSF8

Cytogenetic location: 12p12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:25,958,232-26,079,889 (from NCBI)

This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 283 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 13.9), endometrium (RPKM 13.0) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Ras-assocation domain family (RASSF) of tumor suppressor proteins. This gene is essential for maintaining adherens junction function in epithelial cells and has a role in epithelial cell migration. It is a lung tumor suppressor gene candidate. A chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(p11.2;q13.3) leading to the fusion of this gene and the FBLN1 gene is found in a complex type of synpolydactyly. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
