NCBI Summary for NIPAL4
This gene likely encodes a membrane receptor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
UniProt Comments for NIPAL4
ICHN: Acts as a Mg(2+) transporter. Can also transport other divalent cations such as Ba(2+), Mn(2+), Sr(2+) and Co(2+) but to a much less extent than Mg(2+). May be a receptor for ligands (trioxilins A3 and B3) from the hepoxilin pathway. Defects in NIPAL4 are the cause of ichthyosis congenital autosomal recessive ichthyin-related (ARCII). ARCII is a disorder of keratinization with abnormal differentiation and desquamation of the epidermis. The phenotype usually presents as non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE) with fine whitish scaling on an erythrodermal background; larger brownish scales are present on the buttocks, neck and legs. Some of the families may show a more lamellar phenotype (lamellar ichthyosis). Belongs to the NIPA family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
