About AFM

Cytogenetic location: 4q13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:73,481,745-73,504,001 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 135 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 187.4).

Summary

This gene is a member of the albumin gene family, which is comprised of four genes that localize to chromosome 4 in a tandem arrangement. These four genes encode structurally-related serum transport proteins that are known to be evolutionarily related. The protein encoded by this gene is regulated developmentally, expressed in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
