About GYPC

Cytogenetic location: 2q14.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:126,656,158-126,696,667 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 136 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 63.1), fat (RPKM 47.2) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

Glycophorin C (GYPC) is an integral membrane glycoprotein. It is a minor species carried by human erythrocytes, but plays an important role in regulating the mechanical stability of red cells. A number of glycophorin C mutations have been described. The Gerbich and Yus phenotypes are due to deletion of exon 3 and 2, respectively. The Webb and Duch antigens, also known as glycophorin D, result from single point mutations of the glycophorin C gene. The glycophorin C protein has very little homology with glycophorins A and B. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
