Introduction
The gene FAM227A is a protein coding gene located on chromosome 22 at the location q13.1 with accession number NM_001013647. Current studies have determined the location of this gene to be in the nucleoplasmic region of the cell. FAM227A has also expressed high levels in the tissues of the Fallopian tube, testis, and pituitary gland in Homo sapiens . Gene alignment sequences have shown that FAM227A is a rapidly evolving gene. The gene sequence contains single nucleotide polymorphisms, phosphorylation sites, and an upstream in-frame stop codon. An important paralog is FAM227B. Several research publications have linked FAM227A to various conditions including prostate cancer, lung abnormality, sensorineural hearing loss, and atrial septum defect1.

DNA
FAM227A is a protein coding gene located on chromosome 22 at the location 22q13.1    There are no aliases for FAM227A but the related paralog is FAM227B.

RNA
The accession number is NM_001013647.1. The coding sequence runs from base pairs 605-2317. There are 17 exons in the encoding region and an upstream in-frame stop codon at 560-562 base pairs.

Protein
It is 570 amino acids long and has a molecular mass of 66188 Daltons. There are 3 experimentally determined phosphorylation sites. FAM227A is predicted to be an intracellular protein with two transcripts. There are 2 isoforms of FAM227A with accession numbers NM_001013647.1 and NM_001291030.1. The first has a shorter transcript but encodes a larger isoform. The second isoform has an alternate splice site in the 5’ region and starts translation at a different start codon than the first isoform.

Location
Research on FAM227A has found various regions where the gene is expressed. Immunofluorescent staining of the Homo sapiens cell line A-431, collected from skin tissue, has determined the location of FAM227A to be in the nucleoplasmic region. This finding was supported through immunohistochemical staining of the human epididymis which revealed nuclear and cytoplasmic localization. FAM227A is highly expressed in the fallopian tubes, testis, and pituitary gland.

Baseball
Montgomery's baseball tradition includes the amateur baseball team, known as the Mallards, the former high school Montgomery-Lonsdale Redbirds and now the Tri-City United Titans. The Mallards play in the Dakota Rice Scott Amateur Baseball League (DRS) under the direction of the Minnesota Baseball Association. The Mallards participated in the State Tournament in 1998, 1999, and 2002. They play their home games at Memorial Field, in Memorial Park.

The Redbirds played in the Minnesota River Conference under the direction of the Minnesota High School League. The Redbirds participated in a few State Tournaments and won the Class A State Championship for the 1998-1999 Season. Now the tradition continues with the consolidated Tri-City United School District.
