Background
This gene encodes a protein which is necessary for normal skeletal development and brain function. Mutations in this gene are associated with two types of recessive osteochondrodysplasia, Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen (DMC) dysplasia and Smith-McCort (SMC) dysplasia, which involve both skeletal defects and mental retardation.

Function
disease:Defects in DYM are the cause of Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome (DMC) [MIM:223800]. DMC is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short trunk dwarfism, microcephaly and psychomotor retardation. Electron microscopic study of cutaneous cells of affected patients shows dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum, enlarged and aberrant vacuoles and numerous vesicles. DMC is progressive.,disease:Defects in DYM are the cause of Smith-McCort dysplasia (SMC) [MIM:607326]. SMC is a rare autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by short limbs and trunk with barrel-shaped chest. The radiographic phenotype includes platyspondyly, generalized abnormalities of the epiphyses and metaphyses, and a distinctive lacy appearance of the iliac crest, features identical to those of Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome.,PTM:Myristoylated in vitro; myristoylation is not essential for pr

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus. Membrane ; Lipid-anchor . Sequence analysis programs clearly predict 1 transmembrane region. However, PubMed:18996921 shows that it is not a stably anchored transmembrane protein but it weakly associates with the Golgi apparatus and shuttles between the Golgi and the cytosol.
Tissue expression
Expressed in most embryo-fetal and adult tissues. Abundant in primary chondrocytes, osteoblasts, cerebellum, kidney, lung, stomach, heart, pancreas and fetal brain. Very low or no expression in the spleen, thymus, esophagus, bladder and thyroid gland.
