GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DCANP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C5orf20, DCNP1
Description
Dendritic cell-associated nuclear protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This intronless gene is specifically expressed in dendritic cells (DCs), which are potent antigen-presenting cells involved in activating naive T cells to initiate antigen-specific immune response. The encoded protein is localized mainly in the perinucleus. One of the alleles (A/T) of this gene, that causes premature translation termination at aa 117, has been associated with an increased prevalence of major depression in humans.
