About PSPN

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:6,375,148-6,375,933 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 175 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor) subfamily and TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein signals through the RET receptor tyrosine kinase and a GPI-linked coreceptor, and promotes survival of neuronal populations. This protein may play a role in cell death, and nervous system development and function. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
