SMIM1 small integral membrane protein 1 (Vel blood group)

Gene ID: 388588, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Vel

Summary

This gene encodes a small, conserved protein that participates in red blood cell formation. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and is the antigen for the Vel blood group. Alternative splicing results in different transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
