NAT8 N-acetyltransferase 8 (putative) [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: NAT8provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: N-acetyltransferase 8 (putative)provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:18069
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000144035 MIM:606716; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18069
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: GLA; CML1; CCNAT; Hcml1; ATase2; TSC501; TSC510
Summary: This gene, isolated using the differential display method to detect tissue-specific genes, is specifically expressed in kidney and liver. The encoded protein shows amino acid sequence similarity to N-acetyltransferases. A similar protein in Xenopus affects cell adhesion and gastrulation movements, and may be localized in the secretory pathway. A highly similar paralog is found in a cluster with this gene.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
