Ano7 - anoctamin 7 Gene

Also Known as Ngep; Ngep-L; Pcanap5; Tmem16g

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 404545

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the anoctamin family, which in mammals is comprised of 10 members. Anoctamin proteins are proposed to have eight transmembrane domains with both termini facing the cytoplasm and a C-terminal domain of unknown function. While some members have been characterized as calcium-activated chloride channels, this protein is reported to have little anion conductance activity. In humans, this protein is primarily found in prostate tissues and may serve as a target for prostate Cancer Immunotherapy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
