Name

VEPH1 Gene

ventricular zone expressed PH domain-containing 1

Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction and negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in endomembrane system. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

PZP Gene

pregnancy-zone protein

The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in late-pregnancy serum and is similar in structure to alpha-2-macroglobulin. The encoded protein, which acts as a homotetramer, inhibits the activity of all four classes of proteinases. This protein contains cleavage sites for several proteinases. Upon binding of a proteinase, the conformation of this protein changes to trap the proteinase, limiting its activity. This protein appears to be elevated in the sera of presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease patients. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

UCMA Gene

upper zone of growth plate and cartilage matrix associated

This gene encodes a chondrocyte-specific, highly charged protein that is abundantly expressed in the upper immature zone of fetal and juvenile epiphyseal cartilage. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature protein that is secreted into the extracellular matrix. The glutamic acid residues in the encoded protein undergo gamma carboxylation in a vitamin K-dependent manner. Undercarboxylation of the encoded protein is associated with osteoarthritis in humans. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

TZMP1 Gene

transition zone microprotein 1

CMM Gene

cutaneous malignant melanoma/dysplastic nevus

Malignant melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign nevus, which occurs most often in the skin but also may involve other sites.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002]

CMM4 Gene

Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, 4

CMM7 Gene

Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 7

CILD4 Gene

Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 4

PSC Gene

Cholangitis, primary sclerosing

PIFO Gene

primary cilia formation

Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of kinase activity. Predicted to be located in ciliary basal body and trans-Golgi network. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

IPOX Gene

Intestinal pseudoobstruction, neuronal, primary idiopathic

PPH2 Gene

primary pulmonary hypertension 2

PLSA1 Gene

Primary lateral sclerosis, adult, 1

MYD88 Gene

myeloid differentiation primary response 88

This gene encodes a cytosolic adapter protein that plays a central role in the innate and adaptive immune response. This protein functions as an essential signal transducer in the interleukin-1 and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. These pathways regulate that activation of numerous proinflammatory genes. The encoded protein consists of an N-terminal death domain and a C-terminal Toll-interleukin1 receptor domain. Patients with defects in this gene have an increased susceptibility to pyogenic bacterial infections. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

PRD Gene

primary retinal dysplasia

GLC3B Gene

glaucoma 3, primary infantile, B

GLC3C Gene

glaucoma 3, primary congenital, C

HDLCQ14 Gene

Hypoalphalipoproteinemia, primary

LOC102724175 Gene

membrane primary amine oxidase-like

CILD8 Gene

Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 8

PBC3 Gene

Biliary cirrhosis, primary, 3

PBC2 Gene

Biliary cirrhosis, primary, 2

PBC5 Gene

Biliary cirrhosis, primary, 5

PBC4 Gene

Biliary cirrhosis, primary, 4

DPCD Gene

deleted in primary ciliary dyskinesia homolog (mouse)

This gene in mouse encodes a protein that may be involved in the generation and maintenance of ciliated cells. In mouse, expression of this gene increases during ciliated cell differentiation, and disruption of this gene has been linked to primary ciliary dyskinesia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
