About CARNS1

Cytogenetic location: 11q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:67,415,678-67,425,604 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 83 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 21.1), thyroid (RPKM 2.9) and 3 other tissues.

Summary

CARNS1 (EC 6.3.2.11), a member of the ATP-grasp family of ATPases, catalyzes the formation of carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) and homocarnosine (gamma-aminobutyryl-L-histidine), which are found mainly in skeletal muscle and the central nervous system, respectively (Drozak et al., 2010 [PubMed 20097752]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2010]
