Gene ID: 83636, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MPAN; NBIA3; NBIA4; SPG43

Summary

This gene encodes a small transmembrane protein. Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation-4 (NBIA4), but the specific function of the encoded protein is unknown. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
