Gene: SAMD4A

Alternate names for this Gene: SAMD4|SMAUG|SMAUG1|SMG|SMGA

Gene Summary: Sterile alpha motifs (SAMs) in proteins such as SAMD4A are part of an RNA-binding domain that functions as a posttranscriptional regulator by binding to an RNA sequence motif known as the Smaug recognition element, which was named after the Drosophila Smaug protein (Baez and Boccaccio, 2005 [PubMed 16221671]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q22.2
