NCIt definition : Human RAI1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p11.2 and is approximately
130 kb in length. This allele, which encodes retinoic acid-induced protein 1, plays
roles in transcriptional regulation, development, control of body weight and complex
behavioral responses. Mutations in this gene are associated with Smith-Magenis Syndrome.;
NCIt note : transcriptional regulator, may be important for embryonal and postnatal development.
May play roles in craniofacial development, control of body weight and complex behavioral
responses.;
