The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and may play a role in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of normophosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010] Expression Broad expression in esophagus (RPKM 24.7), spleen (RPKM 9.8) and 18 other tissues See more Orthologs all
