This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 19.6), heart (RPKM 19.4) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

Sterile alpha motifs (SAMs) in proteins such as SAMD4A are part of an RNA-binding domain that functions as a posttranscriptional regulator by binding to an RNA sequence motif known as the Smaug recognition element, which was named after the Drosophila Smaug protein (Baez and Boccaccio, 2005 [PubMed 16221671]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
