GPM6B - glycoprotein M6B Gene
Also Known as M6B
Species: Homo sapiens
About GPM6B
This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 287 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 225.8) and prostate (RPKM 7.6).
Summary
This gene encodes a membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the proteolipid protein family. Proteolipid protein family members are expressed in most brain regions and are thought to be involved in cellular housekeeping functions such as membrane trafficking and cell-to-cell communication. This protein may also be involved in osteoblast differentiation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes Y and 22.
