Summary
KANTR (KANTR integral membrane protein, HGNC:49510) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp11.22, encoding KANTR integral membrane protein (A0A1W2PQU2).
This gene is thought to produce a functional long non-coding RNA. Mutation of this locus in mouse causes tremors and spastic movements, suggesting a role for this gene in neurological development or function.
