MIPOL1 Proteins and Enzymes

MIPOL1, also known as Mirror-image polydactyly gene 1 protein, has 3 isoforms, a 442 amino acid isoform1 that is 51 kDa, a 261 amino acid isoform 2 that is 30 kDa and a short 169 amino acid isoform 3 that is 20 kDa; expressed very weakly in heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas and fetal kidney; and may function as a tumor suppressor. Studies on this protein have shown a relationship with the following diseases and disorders: mirror-image polydactyly, Laurin-Sandrow syndrome, adult astrocytic tumour, fibular hypoplasia, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, nasopharyngitis and carcinoma. This protein has shown an interaction with UBC protein.
