FXYD5 is a member of a family of small membrane proteins that share a 35-amino acid signature sequence domain, beginning with the sequence PFXYD and containing 7 invariant and 6 highly conserved amino acids.
The approved human gene nomenclature for the family is FXYD-domain containing ion transport regulator.
Mouse FXYD5 has been termed RIC (Related to Ion Channel).
FXYD2, also known as the gamma subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, regulates the properties of that enzyme.
FXYD1 (phospholemman), FXYD2 (gamma), FXYD3 (MAT-8), FXYD4 (CHIF), and FXYD5 (RIC) have been shown to induce channel activity in experimental expression systems.
Transmembrane topology has been established for two family members (FXYD1 and FXYD2), with the N-terminus extracellular and the C-terminus on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane.
This gene product, FXYD5, has not been characterized as a protein.
This reference sequence was derived from AF161462.1 and ESTs; validated by multiple replicate ESTs and human genomic sequence.

Two transcript variants have been found for this gene, and they are both predicted to encode the same protein.
