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]

MZB1 Gene

marginal zone B and B1 cell-specific protein

Involved in positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. [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

CPVT3 Gene

Ventricular tachycardia, catecholaminergic polymorphic, 3

ARVD4 Gene

arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 4

ARVD6 Gene

arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 6

ARVD3 Gene

arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 3

MYL3 Gene

myosin, light chain 3, alkali; ventricular, skeletal, slow

MYL3 encodes myosin light chain 3, an alkali light chain also referred to in the literature as both the ventricular isoform and the slow skeletal muscle isoform. Mutations in MYL3 have been identified as a cause of mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LVNC2 Gene

noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium, familial isolated, autosomal dominant 2
