This gene encodes a protein with multiple
ankyrin repeat domains and a single
KH domain. Co-transcription of this gene and the neighboring downstream gene (
EIF4EBP3) generates a transcript (MASK-BP3) which encodes a fusion protein composed of the MASK protein sequence for the majority of the protein and a different
C-terminus due to an alternate reading frame for the EIF4EBP3 segments. == References ==
