non imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome 2

Symbol

NIPA2 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene encodes a possible magnesium transporter. This gene is located adjacent to the imprinted domain in the Prader-Willi syndrome deletion region of chromosome 15. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 3, 7 and 21.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
