Gene ontology

2

19.11 - 19.97

AGPS

It encodes a protein that catalyzes the step of lipid biosynthesis

   

and the removal of long chain acid anion

  

NFE2L2

It encodes a transcription factor which is a member of a small

   

family of basic Leucine (bZIP) proteins

2

22.09 - 22.77

WIPF1

SCEL

It encodes a tissue-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein

   

with a pivotal role in hemopoises

it mediates actin by association with G-Protein that activates

   

a phosphaidylinositol-calcium second messenger system

13

14.36 - 14.92

VAMP7
