About FRMPD2

Cytogenetic location: 10q11.22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:48,156,559-48,274,895 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 178 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.2), testis (RPKM 1.3) and 4 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a peripheral membrane protein and is located in a region of chromosome 10q that contains a segmental duplication. This copy of the gene is full-length and is in the telomeric duplicated region. Two other more centromerically proximal copies of the gene are partial and may represent pseudogenes. This full-length gene appears to function in the establishment and maintenance of cell polarization. The protein is recruited to cell-cell junctions in an E-cadherin-dependent manner, and is selectively localized at the basolateral membrane in polarized epithelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
