This gene encodes a HORMA domain-containing protein. HORMA domains are involved in chromatin binding and play a role in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein may play a role in meiosis, and expression of this gene is a potential marker for cancer. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.HORMAD1 (HORMA Domain Containing 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HORMAD1 include Splenic Infarction. An important paralog of this gene is HORMAD2.
