About VIRMA

Cytogenetic location: 8q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:94,487,689-94,553,469 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants) and 210 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 11.6), ovary (RPKM 8.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in mRNA alternative polyadenylation and mRNA methylation. Located in cytosol and nuclear speck. Colocalizes with RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
