Gene information for SPTB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6710
Official gene symbolSPTB
Full namespectrin, beta, erythrocytic
Aliases,EL3,HS2,HSPTB1,SPH2,
Gene summaryThis locus encodes a member of the spectrin gene family. Spectrin proteins, along with ankyrin, play a role in cell membrane organization and stability. The protein encoded by this locus functions in stability of erythrocyte membranes, and mutations in this gene have been associated with spherocytosis type 2, hereditary elliptocytosis, and neonatal hemolytic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
