Also known as: OMS; p170; CPAMD9
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the alpha-macroglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein is thought to be an N-glycosylated monomeric protein that acts as an inhibitor of several proteases. It has been shown to form covalent interactions with proteases, and has been reported as the p170 antigen recognized by autoantibodies in the autoimmune disease paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP; PMID:20805888). Mutations in these gene have also been associated with some cases of Noonan syndrome (NS; PMID:24939586) as well as some cases of otitis media (PMID:26121085). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

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.

NM_001282424.3 → NP_001269353.2 alpha-2-macroglobulin-like protein 1 isoform 2

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) represents use of an alternate promoter, and thus differs in the 5' UTR and 5' coding region, compared to variant 1. These differences cause translation initiation at an alternate AUG, and the resulting isoform (2) has a distinct and shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
