ZNT8 is a zinc efflux transporter involved in the accumulation of zinc in intracellular vesicles. This gene is expressed at a high level only in the pancreas, particularly in islets of Langerhans. The encoded protein colocalizes with insulin in the secretory pathway granules of the insulin-secreting INS-1 cells. Allelic variants of this gene exist that confer susceptibility to diabetes mellitus, noninsulin-dependent (NIDDM). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been foun

GPR176 is a Members of the G protein-coupled receptor family, such as GPR176, are cell surface receptors involved in responses to hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters (Hata et al., 1995 [PubMed 7893747]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2008].

This gene encodes one of the many small GTP-binding proteins in the Rho family shown to be associated with focal adhesions in endothelial cells (PMID: 21148427, 22103495). The encoded protein is activated by vascular endothelial growth factor and may regulate angiogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

The CW domain is a structural module found in many vertebrate, parasitic and plant proteins. It consists of a mononuclear four-cysteine zinc-finger domain that plays a role in DNA binding, chromatin methylation and early embryonic development. ZCWCC1 (zinc finger CW-type coiled-coil domain protein 1), also known as MORC2 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 2) or ZCW3, is a 1,032 amino acid protein that contains one CW-type zinc finger domain. ZCWCC1 is located on chromosome 22 and is ub
