Receptor for erythropoietin. Mediates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation and differentiation. Upon EPO stimulation, EPOR dimerizes triggering the JAK2/STAT5 signaling cascade. In some cell types, can also activate STAT1 and STAT3. May also activate the LYN tyrosine kinase. Isoform EPOR-T acts as a dominant-negative receptor of EPOR-mediated signaling.

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This kinase has been shown to be involved in many different cellular functions, such as neuron channel activation, apoptosis, cardioprotection from ischemia, heat shock response, as well as insulin exocytosis. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase is important for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated signaling in activated macrophages and may also play a role in controlling anxiety-like behavior.

The cadherins are a family of Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules that function to mediate cell-cell binding events that are critical to the maintenance of cell structure and morphogenesis. EY-cadherin, also known as CDH18 (cadherin 18), CDH14 (cadherin 14), CDH24 or CDH14L, is a 790 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains five cadherin domains. One of several members of the cadherin superfamily, EY-cadherin functions as a type II classical cadherin that is expressed specifically in the central nervous system (CNS), where it plays a role in cell-cell binding events. Specifically, EY-cadherin is thought to be involved in axon guidance and outgrowth, as well as synaptic adhesion within the CNS. EY-cadherin contains a highly conserved C-terminal domain characteristic of all cadherins, but lacks the HAV cell adhesion sequence that is specific to type I cadherins. The gene encoding EY-cadherin is located within a region on chromosome five that is commonly deleted in carcinomas, implicating EY-cadherin as a potential tumor suppressor.

Protects against apoptosis mediated by BAX.Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is related to many diseases, such as cancer. Apoptosis is triggered by a variety of stimuli including members in the TNF family and prevented by the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins. IAP proteins form a conserved gene family including IAP, XIAP/ILP-1/MIHA, and Livin/KIAP that bind to and inhibits specific proteases. A novel member in the IAP protein family was recently identified and designated ILP-2 for IAP-like protein-2 (1). ILP-2 has high homology to ILP-1, but is encoded by a distinct gene that is solely expressed in testis of tested normal human tissues (1). ILP-2, unlike ILP-1, has no inhibitory effect on Fas and TNF induced apoptosis, but potently inhibits apoptosis induced by overexpression of Bax or by coexpression of caspase-9 with Apaf-1. ILP-2 interacts with the processed caspase-9. These results suggest that ILP-2 is a novel IAP family member with restricted specificity for caspase-9.

AMAP-1 (AMY-1-binding protein 1), also known as AMAM-1 or MYCBPAP (MYCBP associated protein), is a 947 amino acid protein that is expressed specifically in testis and is involved in spermatogenesis and synaptic processes. AMAP-1 colocalizes with MYCBP (AMY-1) in cytoplasm and also localizes to membrane. The gene encoding AMAP-1 maps to human chromosome 17, which comprises over 2.5% of the human genome and encodes over 1,200 genes. Two key tumor suppressor genes are associated with chromosome 17, namely, p53 and BRCA1. Tumor suppressor p53 is necessary for maintenance of cellular genetic integrity by moderating cell fate through DNA repair versus cell death. Malfunction or loss of p53 expression is associated with malignant cell growth and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Like p53, BRCA1 is directly involved in DNA repair, though specifically it is recognized as a genetic determinant of early onset breast cancer and predisposition to cancers of the ovary, colon, prostate gland and fallopian tubes.

Sulfatases (EC 3.1.5.6), such as ARSI, hydrolyze sulfate esters from sulfated steroids, carbohydrates, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. They are involved in hormone biosynthesis, modulation of cell signaling, and degradation of macromolecules (Sardiello et al., 2005 [PubMed 16174644]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].

Regulator of chromosome structure during mitosis required for condensin-depleted chromosomes to retain their compact architecture through anaphase. Acts by mediating the recruitment of phopsphatase PP1-gamma subunit (PPP1CC) to chromatin at anaphase and into the following interphase. At anaphase onset, its association with chromatin targets a pool of PPP1CC to dephosphorylate substrates.

C9orf46 is a 147 amino acid transmembrane protein. The gene encoding C9orf46 maps to human chromosome 9, which consists of about 145 million bases and 4% of the human genome and encodes nearly 900 genes. Considered to play a role in gender determination, deletion of the distal portion of 9p can lead to development of male to female sex reversal, the phenotype of a female with a male X,Y genotype. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, which is characterized by harmful vascular defects, is associated with the chromosome 9 gene encoding endoglin protein, ENG. Familial dysautonomia is also associated with chromosome 9 though through the gene IKBKAP. Notably, chromosome 9 encompasses the largest interferon family gene cluster. Chromosome 9 is partnered with chromosome 22 in the translocation leading to the aberrant production of BCR-ABL fusion protein often found in leukemias.

The endothelin (ET) family of proteins, which includes ET-1 (endothelin-1), ET-2 (endothelin-2) and ET-3 (endothelin-3), are vasoactive peptides that are involved in various functions throughout the body. Endothelins can affect the central nervous system and neuronal excitability, and they elicit potent vasoconstrictor action. While ET-1 is a potent, 21-amino acid vasoconstrictor peptide, ET-2 has the most potent vasoconstrictor activity. ET-3 functions as a ligand for endothelin receptor type B (ETBR) and, through this interaction, mediates the maturation of enteric neurons and melanocytes. Although ET-3 is expressed as a 238 amino acid peptide, it is post-translationally modified to produce a short active isoform and a long inactive isoform. Defects in the gene encoding ET-3 are the cause of a variety of disorders, including Hirschsprung disease type 1 (HSCR1), congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) and Waardenburg syndrome type IV (WS4).

Glutamate receptors mediate most excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and play an important role in neural plasticity, neural development and neurodegeneration. Ionotropic glutamate receptors are categorized into NMDA receptors and kainate/AMPA receptors, both of which contain glutamate-gated, cation-specific ion channels. Synaptic and extrasynaptic NMDA receptors have been shown to have opposite effects on neuronal survival, CREB function and gene regulation. As one of the four major proteins of the NMDA receptor ion channel, GRINA (Glutamate [NMDA] receptor-associated protein 1), also designated NMDA receptor glutamate-binding subunit or putative MAPK-activating protein PM02, is a 371 amino acid multi-pass transmembrane protein. Due to the chromosomal location of the gene encoding GRINA, studies have linked possible GRINA involvement with a form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
