GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PNMA5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA1934
Description
Paraneoplastic Ma antigen family member 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the paraneoplastic Ma antigen protein family. These proteins have been implicated in the development of paraneoplastic disorders resulting from an immune response directed against them. Paraneoplastic disorders are the result of an abnormal immune response to a tumor. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
