ID:SAMD1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Atherin; AltName: Full=Sterile alpha motif domain-containing protein 1; Short=SAM domain-containing protein 1; FUNCTION: May play a role in atherogenesis by immobilizing LDL in the atherial wall. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Secreted. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in atherosclerotic lesions, not in normal intima. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain. CAUTION: Due to its high GC content it turned out to be difficult to sequence the 5' end of the gene encoding the N-terminal proline-rich region of the protein and to unambiguously determine which sequence is correct. We display the sequence described in PubMed:16159594. This sequence fits better with orthologous sequences but is not consistent with the human reference genome sequence.

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.
