Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 252995
Gene name Fibronectin type III domain containing 5
Gene symbol FNDC5
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FRCP2irisin
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p35.1
Summary This gene encodes a secreted protein that is released from muscle cells during exercise. The encoded protein may participate in the development of brown fat. Translation of the precursor protein initiates at a non-AUG start codon at a position that is con
