FAM215A
Description
The FAM215A (family with sequence similarity 215 member A) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 17.
FAM215A is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19 in humans. The gene is known to encode a protein that is widely expressed in various tissues, but its specific role is still largely unknown. Research suggests potential involvement in gene expression regulation and developmental processes, however, more investigation is needed to clarify its exact function.
The exact function of FAM215A is not fully understood. However, it has been suggested that it may play a role in regulating gene expression. Additionally, FAM215A is linked to several developmental processes, including growth and differentiation. This suggests that it could be involved in the proper development of various tissues and organs.
FAM215A is also known as APR-2, C17orf88, LINC00530.
