Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4210
Gene name MEFV innate immunity regulator, pyrin
Gene symbol MEFV
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FMFMEFPAANDTRIM20
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16p13.3
Summary This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
