FRG1 FSHD region gene 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2483)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2483)
Symbol: FRG1
Full name: FSHD region gene 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: FRG1A; FSG1
Summary: This gene maps to a location 100 kb centromeric of the repeat units on chromosome 4q35 which are deleted in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). It is evolutionarily conserved and has related sequences on multiple human chromosomes but DNA sequence analysis did not reveal any homology to known genes. In vivo studies demonstrate the encoded protein is localized to the nucleolus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 24.3), fat (RPKM 19.1) and 25 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 22321bp
Exon count: 9
