The family with sequence similarity 43 member A (FAM43A) gene, also known as; GCO3P195887, GC03P194406, GC03P191784, and NM_153690.3, codes for a 423 bp protein that is conserved in primates, and orthologs have been found in vertebrate and invertebrate species. Three transcripts have been identified, two protein coding isoforms (aAug10, bAug10), and a non-coding transcript (cAug10). Molecular weight of 45.8 kdal in the unphosphorylated state and isoelectric point of 6.1.
