About SIM2

Cytogenetic location: 21q22.13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:36,699,115-36,749,917 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 5.4), esophagus (RPKM 4.7) and 4 other tissues.

Summary

This gene represents a homolog of the Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene, which encodes a transcription factor that is a master regulator of neurogenesis. The encoded protein is ubiquitinated by RING-IBR-RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases, including the parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein Ligase. This gene maps within the so-called Down syndrome chromosomal region, and is thus thought to contribute to some specific Down syndrome phenotypes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
