PLEKHM1 pleckstrin homology and RUN domain containing M1

Gene ID: 9842, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: B2; AP162; OPTA3; OPTB6

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is essential for bone resorption, and may play a critical role in vesicular transport in the osteoclast. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 6 (OPTB6). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
