SNTA1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SNTA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q11.21 and is approximately 36 kb in length. This allele, which encodes alpha-1-syntrophin protein, plays a role in coupling cell surface receptors and sodium channel proteins to the dystrophin-associated protein complex. Mutations in the gene are associated with long QT syndrome 12.
