The 5' end of this gene is similar to the 5` coding region of the POM121 gene which encodes an integral nuclear pore membrane protein. However, the protein encoded by this gene lacks the nuclear pore localization motif. The 3' end of this gene is similar to the last 4 exons of the zona pellucida glycoprotein 3 (ZP3) gene and the encoded protein retains one zona pellucida domain. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Annotation information Note: POM121 (Gene ID: 9883) and POMZP3 (Gene ID: 22832) share the POM121 symbol/alias in common. POM121 is sometimes used as an alternative name for POM121 and ZP3 fusion, which can be confused with the official symbol for POM121 transmembrane nucleoporin (POM121).
