BRAP BRCA1 associated protein [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: BRAPprovided by HGNC
Official Full Name: BRCA1 associated proteinprovided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:1099
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000089234 MIM:604986; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1099
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: IMP; BRAP2; RNF52
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its ability to bind to the nuclear localization signal of BRCA1 and other proteins. It is a cytoplasmic protein which may regulate nuclear targeting by retaining proteins with a nuclear localization signal in the cytoplasm. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Annotation information: Note: BRAP (Gene ID: 8315) and C6orf89 (Gene ID: 221477) share the BRAP symbol/alias in common. BRAP is a widely used alternative name for chromosome 6 open reading frame 89 (C6orf89), which can be confused with the official symbol for BRCA1-associated protein (BRAP). [05 Jul 2018]
Expression: Broad expression in testis (RPKM 24.8), bone marrow (RPKM 8.8) and 24 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
