Gene:
deiodinase, iodothyronine, type III opposite strand
Gene ID:
195544
Symbol:
DIO3OS
Species:
1000
Description:
The mouse and human DIO3OS and DIO3 (MIM 601038) genes overlap and are transcribed in opposite directions. The mouse Dio3 gene is imprinted from the paternal allele during fetal development, suggesting that DIO3OS is a noncoding gene that may have a role in maintaining monoallelic expression of DIO3 (Hernandez et al., 2004).[supplied by OMIM]
