Entrez ID 221044
Gene name Upper zone of growth plate and cartilage matrix associated
Gene symbol UCMA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C10orf49GRPGRP/UCMA
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10p13
Summary This gene encodes a chondrocyte-specific, highly charged protein that is abundantly expressed in the upper immature zone of fetal and juvenile epiphyseal cartilage. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature protein that is
