Source: NCBI Gene (ID 56907)
Symbol: SPIRE1
Full name: spire type actin nucleation factor 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: Spir-1
Summary: Spire proteins, such as SPIRE1, are highly conserved between species. They belong to the family of Wiskott-Aldrich homology region-2 (WH2) proteins, which are involved in actin organization (Kerkhoff et al., 2001 [PubMed 11747823]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Expression: Broad expression in brain (RPKM 20.7), testis (RPKM 14.2) and 22 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 215580bp
Exon count: 26
