golgin subfamily A member 8F (GOLGA8F)

Structure

• belongs to the GOLGA8 family,

Alternative splicing

• named isoforms=2
  • isoform 4: may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Notes

• could be the product of a pseudogene
• a family of highly similar proteins (GOLGA8A, GOLGA8B, GOLGA8C, GOLGA8D, GOLGA8E, GOLGA8F, GOLGA8G) are encoded by a repeated region on chromosome 15q11-15q13
