**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ANKRD26 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10p12.1 and is approximately 134 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 26, is involved in adipogenesis, appetite and platelet functions. Mutations in the 5' promoter region of this gene that result in increased expression are associated with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia 2.
