Gene:
testis derived transcript (3 LIM domains)
Gene ID:
193741
Symbol:
TES
Species:
1000
Description:
Cancer-associated chromosomal changes often involve regions containing fragile sites. This gene maps to a commom fragile site on chromosome 7q31.2 designated FRA7G. This gene is similar to mouse Testin, a testosterone-responsive gene encoding a Sertoli cell secretory protein containing three LIM domains. LIM domains are double zinc-finger motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions between transcription factors, cytoskeletal proteins and signaling proteins. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene.
