SIK1 Gene

salt-inducible kinase 1

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that contains a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain. The encoded protein is a member of the adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase (AMPK) subfamily of kinases that play a role in conserved signal transduction pathways. A mutation in this gene is associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 30. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

SIK2 Gene

salt-inducible kinase 2

Enables ATP binding activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in intracellular signal transduction and protein autophosphorylation. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

UOX Gene

urate oxidase, pseudogene

Urate oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin. This gene has been inactivated by mutation and is nonfunctional in humans and some other primates. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

URAHP Gene

urate (hydroxyiso-) hydrolase, pseudogene

Predicted to enable hydroxyisourate hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including allantoin metabolic process; nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process; and urate catabolic process. Predicted to be active in peroxisome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SLC22A13 Gene

solute carrier family 22 (organic anion/urate transporter), member 13

This gene encodes a member of the organic-cation transporter family. It is located in a gene cluster with another member of the family, organic cation transporter like 4. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein involved in the transport of small molecules. This protein can function to mediate urate uptake and is a high affinity nicotinate exchanger in the kidneys and the intestine. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

SLC22A12 Gene

solute carrier family 22 (organic anion/urate transporter), member 12

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the organic anion transporter (OAT) family, and it acts as a urate transporter to regulate urate levels in blood. This protein is an integral membrane protein primarily found in epithelial cells of the proximal tubule of the kidney. An elevated level of serum urate, hyperuricemia, is associated with increased incidences of gout, and mutations in this gene cause renal hypouricemia type 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

SLC22A11 Gene

solute carrier family 22 (organic anion/urate transporter), member 11

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the sodium-independent transport and excretion of organic anions, some of which are potentially toxic. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein and is found mainly in the kidney and in the placenta, where it may act to prevent potentially harmful organic anions from reaching the fetus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

RHDNS1 Gene

Renal hypodysplasia, nonsyndromic, 1

PTCPRN Gene

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with papillary renal neoplasia

AABT Gene

Beta-amino acids, renal transport of

RFH1 Gene

Renal failure, progressive, with hypertension

GLYS1 Gene

glycosuria 1, renal

PRCC Gene

papillary renal cell carcinoma (translocation-associated)

This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing. Chromosomal translocations (X;1)(p11;q21) that result in fusion of this gene to TFE3 (GeneID 7030) have been associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma. A PRCC-TFE3 fusion protein is expressed in affected carcinomas and is likely associated with altered gene transactivation. This fusion protein has also been associated with disruption of the cell cycle.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

DIRC1 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 1

Disruption of DIRC1 by translocation is associated with familial clear cell renal cancer. Overexpression of DIRC1 is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in gastric cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]

DIRC3 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 3

DIRC2 Gene

disrupted in renal carcinoma 2

This gene encodes a membrane-bound protein from the major facilitator superfamily of transporters. Disruption of this gene by translocation has been associated with haplo-insufficiency and renal cell carcinomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DPEP1 Gene

dipeptidase 1 (renal)

The protein encoded by this gene is a kidney membrane enzyme involved in the metabolism of glutathione and other similar proteins by dipeptide hydrolysis. The encoded protein is known to regulate leukotriene activity by catalyzing the conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. This protein uses zinc as a cofactor and acts as a disulfide-linked homodimer. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2020]

PRR5 Gene

proline rich 5 (renal)

This gene encodes a protein with a proline-rich domain. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 22 reported to contain a tumor suppressor gene that may be involved in breast and colorectal tumorigenesis. The protein is a component of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), and it regulates platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor beta expression and PDGF signaling to Akt and S6K1. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in transcripts encoding different isoforms. Read-through transcripts from this gene into the downstream Rho GTPase activating protein 8 (ARHGAP8) gene also exist, which led to the original description of PRR5 and ARHGAP8 being a single gene.
