This gene product shares extensive sequence similarity with the rat neuronal olfactomedin-related ER localized protein. While the exact function of the encoded protein is not known, its abundant expression in brain suggests that it may have an essential role in nerve tissue. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that the OLFM1 was upregulated in a specific astrocyte subcluster in post-mortem brain tissue and is associated with cell viability, inducing cell necrosis and apoptosis [Guo et al. DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2025.147708]. In human forensic research, the OLFM1 was evaluated as a candidate mRNA marker for brain tissue identification but was not mentioned in the study's introduction or discussion and was not experimentally studied in the developed multiplex assay [Lindenbergh et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-013-0895-7].
