Gene: GEM

Alternate names for this Gene: KIR

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the RAD/GEM family of GTP-binding proteins. It is associated with the inner face of the plasma membrane and could play a role as a regulatory protein in receptor-mediated signal transduction. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q22.1

Description of this Gene: GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle

Type of Gene: protein-coding
