FAM136A, Official Symbol FAM136Aprovided by HGNC Official Full Name family with sequence similarity 136 member Aprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:25911 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000035141 MIM:616275; AllianceGenome:HGNC:25911 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 Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrially localized protein that is highly conserved across species. The gene is expressed in a variety of tissues including human lymphoblast cells and rat neurosensorial epithelium of the cristaampullaris. A mutation in this gene has been associated with familial Meniere's disease, a chronic disorder of the inner ear. Several pseudogenes of this gene are found on other chromosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
