Abstract:Microproteins are small proteins comprising 2 to 200 amino acids, arising from small Open Reading Frames (smORFs). They are found in different parts of the cell and regulate basic molecular processes like DNA replication, repair, transcription and recombination. SMIM or SMall Integral Membrane proteins are novel, largely uncharacterized, members to the class of microproteins defined by the presence of a transmembrane domain. The retinal transcriptome of zebrafish, reported previously by our group, revealed sev… Show more
