Full name: otoraplin

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: FDP; MIAL1

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the melanoma-inhibiting activity gene family. The encoded protein is secreted via the Golgi apparatus and may function in cartilage development and maintenance. A frequent polymorphism in the translation start codon of this gene can abolish translation and may be associated with forms of deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
