Gene: PALM

Alternate names for this Gene: PALM1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the paralemmin protein family. The product of this gene is a prenylated and palmitoylated phosphoprotein that associates with the cytoplasmic face of plasma membranes and is implicated in plasma membrane dynamics in neurons and other cell types. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3
