LHFPL1
Description
The LHFPL1 (LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.
Lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 1 protein is a protein encoded by the LHFPL1 gene in humans. This gene belongs to the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, a group within the tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding gene superfamily. Mutations in some LHFP-like genes lead to deafness in humans and mice. Another LHFP-like gene is fused to a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated lipoma. While alternative spliced transcript variants have been discovered, their biological significance remains unclear.
LHFPL1 is also known as -.
