Gene ID: 261734 | Gene type: protein coding

About NPHP4

Cytogenetic location: 1p36.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:5,862,811-5,992,425 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 3.4), thyroid (RPKM 2.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein involved in renal tubular development and function. This protein interacts with nephrocystin, and belongs to a multifunctional complex that is localized to actin- and microtubule-based structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4, a renal disease, and with Senior-Loken syndrome type 4, a combination of nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
