Macoilin, a conserved nervous system-specific ER membrane protein that regulates neuronal excitability.

PLoS genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt

Genome sequence comparisons have highlighted many novel gene families that are conserved across animal phyla but whose biological function is unknown. Here, we functionally characterize a member of one such family, the macoilins. Macoilins are characterized by several highly conserved predicted t...
