Summary
FAM90A5 (family with sequence similarity 90 member A5, HGNC:32253) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p23.1, encoding Protein FAM90A5 (A8MXJ8).
FAM90A5 belongs to subfamily II of the primate-specific FAM90A gene family, which originated from multiple duplications and rearrangements (Bosch et al., 2007 [PubMed 17684299]). For background information on the FAM90A gene family, as well as information on the evolution of FAM90A genes, see FAM90A1 (MIM 613041).
