Also Known as RP27; D14S46E; NRL-MAF

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 4901

About NRL

Cytogenetic location: 14q11.2-q12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:24,078,662-24,114,949 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 175 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 1.2), small intestine (RPKM 1.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a basic motif-leucine zipper transcription factor of the Maf subfamily. The encoded protein is conserved among vertebrates and is a critical intrinsic regulator of photoceptor development and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa and retinal degenerative diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
