Background Descriptions | Chromosome 9 consists of about 145 million bases and 4% of the human genome and encodes nearly 900 genes. Considered to play a role in gender determination, deletion of the distal portion of 9p can lead to development of male to female sex reversal, the phenotype of a female with a male X,Y genotype. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, which is characterized by harmful vascular defects, is associated with the chromosome 9 gene encoding endoglin protein, ENG. Familial dysautonomia is also associated with chromosome 9 though through the gene IKBKAP. Notably, chromosome 9 encompasses the largest interferon family gene cluster. Chromosome 9 is partnered with chromosome 22 in the translocation leading to the aberrant production of BCR-ABL fusion protein often found in leukemias. The KIAA1797 gene product has been provisionally designated KIAA1797 pending further characterization. |

Other Names | Focadhesin, FOCAD, KIAA1797 |
Target/Specificity | Ubiquitous. High expression in brain followed by testis, muscle, pancreas, heart, ovary, small intestine, placenta, prostate, thymus, kidney, colon, liver, lung, spleen and leukocytes. Expression is reduced in most glioblastomas and all glioblastoma cell lines. |
Dilution | IHC-P=1:100-500,IHC-F=1:100-500,ICC=1:100-500,IF=1:100-500 |

Synonyms | KIAA1797 |
Function | Required for the maintenance of SKIC2 and SKIC3 proteostatic levels in the liver. May be involved in the regulation of RNA degradation by the exosome complex (PubMed:35864190). Potential tumor suppressor in gliomas. |
Cellular Location | Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=In astrocytes, colocalizes with VCL to the end of actin stress fibers, which normally terminate at focal adhesions. In hepatocytes, it is found in the cytosol |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. High expression in brain followed by testis, muscle, pancreas, heart, ovary, small intestine, placenta, prostate, thymus, kidney, colon, liver, lung, spleen and leukocytes Expression is reduced in most glioblastomas and all glioblastoma cell lines. |
