HORMAD1, NOHMA, HORMA domain-containing protein 1, Cancer/testis antigen 46, CT46, Newborn ovary HORMA protein
This gene encodes a HORMA domain-containing protein. HORMA domains are involved in chromatin binding and play a role in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein may play a role in meiosis, and expression of this gene is a potential marker for cancer. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
