Gene ID:
203418
Symbol:
ALMS1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain that contains no cysteine residues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Alstrom syndrome. The encoded protein may play a role in hearing, sight, obesity, and liver function. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length sequences have not been determined.
