SMIM1, Official Symbol SMIM1provided by HGNC Official Full Name small integral membrane protein 1 (Vel blood group)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:44204 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000235169 MIM:615242; AllianceGenome:HGNC:44204 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 Vel Summary This gene encodes a small, conserved protein that participates in red blood cell formation. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and is the antigen for the Vel blood group. Alternative splicing results in different transcript variants that encode the same protein.
