This gene encodes a protein which contains a hinge region domain found in members of the SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein family. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

This gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the cap'n'collar type of basic region leucine zipper factor family (CNC-bZip). The encoded protein contains broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger (BTB/POZ) domains, which is atypical of CNC-bZip family members. These BTB/POZ domains facilitate protein-protein interactions and formation of homo- and/or hetero-oligomers. When this encoded protein forms a heterodimer with MafK, it functions as a repressor of Maf

Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell surface receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Orthologous to human KLRG1 (killer cell lectin like receptor G1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

MAGOH, the human homolog of Drosophila mago nashi, is required for embryo development. MAGOH is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues. It has an unusual structure consiting of an extremely flat, six-stranded anti-parallel β sheet packed next to two helices. MAGOH interacts with the Y14 protein to form a complex that plays a crucial role in postsplicing processing (including nuclear export and cytoplasmic localization of the mRNA) and in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) surveillance p

High density lipoproteins (HDLs) play a critical role in cholesterol metabolism and their plasma concentrations are inversely correlated with risk for atherosclerosis. SR-BI and SR-BII (previously known as SR-BI.2) are the alternatively spliced products of a single gene. SR-BII and SR-BI are identical except for the encoded c-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Both SR-BI and SR-BII bind HDL and mediates selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ester, but with SR-BII having an approximately 4-fold low
