About GPHN

Cytogenetic location: 14q23.3-q24.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:66,508,147-67,735,355 (from NCBI)

This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 243 orthologues and is associated with 91 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 7.5), liver (RPKM 6.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a neuronal assembly protein that anchors inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors to the postsynaptic Cytoskeleton via high affinity binding to a receptor subunit domain and tubulin dimers. In nonneuronal tissues, the encoded protein is also required for molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene may be associated with the neurological condition hyperplexia and also lead to molybdenum cofactor deficiency. Numerous alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, the full-length nature of all transcript variants is not currently known.
