Gene information for ATXN8OS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6315
Official gene symbolATXN8OS
Full nameATXN8 opposite strand (non-protein coding)
Aliases,KLHL1AS,NCRNA00003,SCA8,
Gene summaryThis gene is an antisense transcript to the KLHL1 gene (homolog to the Drosophila KELCH gene); it does not itself appear to be protein coding. A TAC/TGC trinucleotide repeat expansion that is incorporated into this gene transcript, but not the KLHL1 transcript, causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 8. Presumably the expansion interferes with normal antisense function of this transcript. [provided by RefSeq]
