Gene information for TUB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7275
Official gene symbolTUB
Full nametubby homolog (mouse)
Aliases,rd5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Tubby family of bipartite transcription factors. The encoded protein may play a role in obesity and sensorineural degradation. The crystal structure has been determined for a similar protein in mouse, and it functions as a membrane-bound transcription regulator that translocates to the nucleus in response to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
