context_page_description: Protein FAM208B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM208B gene. The gene is also known as "chromosome 10 open reading frame 18". FAM208B is expressed throughout the body however its function has not been established. FAM208b has been observed to be differentially regulated in various cancers and throughout development. While the exact role of the protein is yet to be established, the significant presence of the protein within humans and throughout the phylogenetic tree depicts a central importance of the gene in normal function.
context_section_description: The gene is located on chromosome 10 at position 10p15.1. FAM208b is upstream of ankryn repeat and SOCS box containing 13 (ASB13), and downstream of the GDP dissociation inhibitor 2 (GDI2) and nuclear receptor binding factor 2 pseudogene 5 (NRBF2P5). ASBI13 and GDI2 are both found on the opposite strand of FAM208b, while NRBF2P5 is on the same strand.
caption: The gene neighborhood of FAM208b. GDI2 is upstream on the same strand, while NRBF2P5 is upstream on the reverse strand. ASB13 is directly downstream on the reverse strand.
