About GEM

Cytogenetic location: 8q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:94,249,253-94,262,319 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues and 35 paralogues. Broad expression in gall bladder (RPKM 114.4), urinary bladder (RPKM 36.5) and 15 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the RAD/GEM family of GTP-binding proteins. It is associated with the inner face of the plasma membrane and could play a role as a regulatory protein in receptor-mediated signal transduction. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
