Background
This gene encodes a member of the Ras-assocation domain family (RASSF) of tumor suppressor proteins. This gene is essential for maintaining adherens junction function in epithelial cells and has a role in epithelial cell migration. It is a lung tumor suppressor gene candidate. A chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(p11.2;q13.3) leading to the fusion of this gene and the FBLN1 gene is found in a complex type of synpolydactyly. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011],
Function
disease:A chromosomal aberration involving RASSF8 is found in a complex type of synpolydactyly, also referred to as 3/3-prime/4 synpolydactyly associated with metacarpal and metatarsal synostoses [MIM:608180]. Reciprocal translocation t(12;22)(p11.2;q13.3) with FBLN1.,similarity:Contains 1 Ras-associating domain.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed as a 6.2 kb transcript. A 2.2 kb alternatively spliced transcript is expressed exclusively in testis.,
