Summary

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring SLX1B (SLX1 structure-specific endonuclease subunit homolog B) and SULT1A4 (sulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 1A, phenol-preferring, member 4) genes on the short arm of chromosome 16. A duplicate read-through locus also exists between the SLX1A and SULT1A3 genes located approximately 730 kb downstream on the same chromosome. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

Summary

"This gene encodes a protein that binds the 5' UTR of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulates its translation. It plays an important role in metabolism and variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to diabetes. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes are found on several chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]"
