About AHNAK

Cytogenetic location: 11q12.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:62,433,544-62,546,806 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 169 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 158.4), fat (RPKM 150.5) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a large (700 kDa) structural scaffold protein consisting of a central domain with 128 aa repeats. The encoded protein may play a role in such diverse processes as blood-brain barrier formation, cell structure and migration, cardiac Calcium Channel regulation, and tumor metastasis. A much shorter variant encoding a 17 kDa isoform exists for this gene, and the shorter isoform initiates a feedback loop that regulates alternative splicing of this gene.
