ULK4 - unc-51 like kinase 4 Gene
Also Known as FAM7C1; REC01035
Species: Homo sapiens
About ULK4
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 182 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 5.0), thyroid (RPKM 0.8) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the unc-51-like serine/threonine kinase (STK) family. Members of this protein family play a role in neuronal growth and endocytosis. The encoded protein is likely involved in neurite branching, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) indicate an association of variations in this gene with blood pressure and hypertension. Sequence variations in this gene may also be be associated with psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Pseudogenes associated with this gene have been identified and are located on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
