About FRMD4A

Cytogenetic location: 10p13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:13,643,706-14,330,924 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 10.5), skin (RPKM 7.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a FERM domain-containing protein that regulates epithelial cell polarity. It connects ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) with the Par protein complex, which regulates the remodeling of adherens junctions and linear actin cable formation during epithelial cell polarization. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with Alzheimer's disease, and also with nicotine dependence. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
