About TAFA1

Cytogenetic location: 3p14.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:67,991,544-68,545,621 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 189 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 6.6) and prostate (RPKM 0.3).

Summary

This gene is a member of the TAFA family which is composed of five highly homologous genes that encode small secreted proteins. These proteins contain conserved cysteine residues at fixed positions, and are distantly related to MIP-1alpha, a member of the CC-chemokine family. The TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain, and are postulated to function as brain-specific chemokines or neurokines that act as regulators of immune and nervous cells.
