## Genomics

The gene is located on the short arm of the Crick strand of chromosome 11 (11p15.5). It is located with a cluster of interferon inducible genes but is itself not interferon inducible. The gene is 1,327 bases in length and encodes a protein of 132 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 14378 daltons. Expression in adults is bone specific and highest in osteoblasts. [citation needed]

The homolog in the mouse is located on chromosome 7. A homolog is also known to be present in lizards.[citation needed]

## Evolution

The gene first appeared in bony fish and its bone specific expression appears to be limited to therian mammals.[citation needed]

## Biochemistry

The protein has two transmembrane domains. It associates with FK506 binding protein 11.[1]

## Clinical

Mutations in the gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta type 5.[2]
