Summary

This gene encodes a component of a conserved striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase complex. Striatin family complexes participate in a variety of cellular processes including signaling, cell cycle control, cell migration, Golgi assembly, and apoptosis. The protein encoded by this gene is a coiled-coil, tail-anchored membrane protein with a single C-terminal transmembrane domain that is posttranslationally inserted into membranes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Brugada syndrome, a cardiac channelopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

Forensic Context

A study in human heart tissue from sudden unexplained death (SUD) cases identified the SLMAP as a differentially expressed cardiac-related gene, with mutations in this gene reported in ion channelopathies or cardiomyopathies [Neubauer et al. DOI:10.1007/S00414-025-03414-4].
