VEZT - vezatin, adherens junctions transmembrane protein Gene
Also Known as VEZATIN
Species: Homo sapiens
About VEZT
This gene has 40 transcripts (splice variants) and 208 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 16.2), placenta (RPKM 10.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which has been localized to adherens junctions and shown to bind to Myosin VIIA. Examination of expression of this gene in gastric Cancer tissues have shown that expression is decreased which appears to be related to hypermethylation of the promoter. Expression of this gene may also be inhibited by binding of a specific MicroRNA to a target sequence in the 3' UTR of the transcripts. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
