Gene information for FEZ1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9638
Official gene symbolFEZ1
Full namefasciculation and elongation protein zeta 1 (zygin I)
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene is an ortholog of the C. elegans unc-76 gene, which is necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles. Expression of this gene in C. elegans unc-76 mutants can restore to the mutants partial locomotion and axonal fasciculation, suggesting that it also functions in axonal outgrowth. The N-terminal half of the gene product is highly acidic. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of this protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
