Gene information for ERVFRD-1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID405754
Official gene symbolERVFRD-1
Full nameHERV-FRD provirus ancestral Env polyprotein
Aliases,ERVFRDE1,GLLL6191,HERV-FRD,HERV-W/FRD,UNQ6191,envFRD,
Gene summaryHuman endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) make up approximately 8% of the human genome. Although most HERVs are nonfunctional, the HERV-W (ERVWE1; MIM 604659) and HERV-FRD envelope (env) proteins can induce cell-cell fusion when expressed in cells possessing appropriate receptors (Blaise et al., 2003 [PubMed 14557543]).[supplied by OMIM]
