MROH8 - maestro heat like repeat family member 8 Gene
Also Known as C20orf131; C20orf132
Species: Homo sapiens
About MROH8
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 131 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 12.2), kidney (RPKM 1.8) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the maestro heat-like repeat family. The exact function of this gene is not known, however, in a genome-wide association study using hippocampal atrophy as a quantitative trait, this gene has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (PMID:19668339). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
