SMIM23 (original) (raw)

SMIM23 or Small Integral Membrane Protein 23 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SMIM23 or c5orf50 gene. The longer mRNA isoform is 519 nucleotides which translates to 172 amino acids of a protein. In recent advancements, researchers have identified this gene, along with a few others, could potentially play a role in how facial morphology arises in humans.
