Description: Homo sapiens neuroblastoma breakpoint family, member 7 (NBPF7), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001047980): This gene is a member of the neuroblastoma breakpoint family (NBPF) which consists of dozens of recently duplicated genes primarily located in segmental duplications on human chromosome 1. This gene family has experienced its greatest expansion within the human lineage and has expanded, to a lesser extent, among primates in general. Members of this gene family are characterized by tandemly repeated copies of DUF1220 protein domains. Gene copy number variations in the human chromosomal region 1q21.1, where most DUF1220 domains are located, have been implicated in a number of developmental and neurogenetic diseases such as microcephaly, macrocephaly, autism, schizophrenia, cognitive disability, congenital heart disease, neuroblastoma, and congenital kidney and urinary tract anomalies. Altered expression of some gene family members is associated with several types of cancer. This gene family contains numerous pseudogenes. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments. ##RefSeq-Attributes-START## inferred exon combination :: based on alignments, homology RefSeq Select criteria :: based on longest protein ##RefSeq-Attributes-END## Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr1:120,377,388-120,387,503 Size: 10,116 Total Exon Count: 8 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr1:120,377,388-120,387,158 Size: 9,771 Coding Exon Count: 8
ID:NBPF7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Putative neuroblastoma breakpoint family member 7; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (Probable). MISCELLANEOUS: Encoded by one of the numerous copies of NBPF genes clustered in the p36, p12 and q21 region of the chromosome 1. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NBPF family. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 NBPF domains. CAUTION: Could be the product of a pseudogene.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
