Family With Sequence Similarity 136, Member A (FAM136A)

Family With Sequence Similarity 136, Member A is a protein  encoded by the FAM136A gene. This gene is expressed at high level, 2.2 times the average gene in this release.The gene contains 6 different gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 6 alternatively spliced mRNAs. There are 2 non overlapping alternative last exons and 10 validated alternative polyadenylation sites. The mRNAs appear to differ by truncation of the 3""" end, presence or absence of 2 cassette exons, overlapping exons with different boundaries, alternative splicing or retention of 3 introns. 295 bp of this gene are antisense to spliced gene gudor, raising the possibility of regulated alternate expression.
