Gene information for PARL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55486
Official gene symbolPARL
Full namepresenilin associated, rhomboid-like
Aliases,PRO2207,PSARL,PSARL1,PSENIP2,RHBDS1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a mitochondrial integral membrane protein. Following proteolytic processing of this protein, a small peptide (P-beta) is formed and translocated to the nucleus. This gene may be involved in signal transduction via regulated intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-tethered precursor proteins. Variation in this gene has been associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
