NODAL modulator 1

Also known as: Nomo, PM5

NCBI Gene: 23420 ENSG00000103512 UniProt: Q15155 OMIM: 609157

NOMO1 encodes a component of the multi-pass translocon complex that mediates insertion of multi-pass membrane proteins into cellular membranes, taking over from the SEC61 complex to facilitate insertion of subsequent transmembrane regions. This gene is not well-established as a cause of human disease, with mutations in the nearby ABCC6 gene rather than NOMO1 being responsible for pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants, suggesting it may be tolerant to protein-disrupting mutations.

OMIM ResearchSummary from RefSeq, UniProt

This gene encodes a protein originally thought to be related to the collagenase gene family. This gene is one of three highly similar genes in a region of duplication located on the p arm of chromosome 16. These three genes encode closely related proteins that may have the same function. The protein encoded by one of these genes has been identified as part of a protein complex that participates in the Nodal signaling pathway during vertebrate development. Mutations in ABCC6, which is located nearby, rather than mutations in this gene are associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
