GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
POMP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C13orf12, HSPC014, UMP1
Description
Proteasome maturation protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a molecular chaperone that binds 20S preproteasome components and is essential for 20S proteasome formation. The 20S proteasome is the proteolytically active component of the 26S proteasome complex. The encoded protein is degraded before the maturation of the 20S proteasome is complete. A variant in the 5' UTR of this gene has been associated with KLICK syndrome, a rare skin disorder.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
