About AGRN

Cytogenetic location: 1p36.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:1,020,120-1,056,116 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues, 27 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 31.2), lung (RPKM 13.9) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of several proteins that are critical in the development of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), as identified in mouse knock-out studies. The encoded protein contains several laminin G, Kazal type Serine Protease Inhibitor, and epidermal growth factor domains. Additional post-translational modifications occur to add glycosaminoglycans and disulfide bonds. In one family with congenital myasthenic syndrome affecting limb-girdle muscles, a mutation in this gene was found. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
