Gene:
splicing factor, arginine/serine-rich 8 (suppressor-of-white-apricot homolog, Drosophila)
Gene ID:
201318
Symbol:
SFRS8
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a human homolog of Drosophila splicing regulatory protein. This gene autoregulates its expression by control of splicing of its first two introns. In addition, it also regulates the splicing of fibronectin and CD45 genes. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. Two alternatively spliced variants have been characterized to date.
