Gene:
RNA binding motif protein, X-linked-like 1
Gene ID:
204173
Symbol:
Species:

Description:
This gene may represent an evolving pseudogene of the RBMX gene. RBMX is an active X chromosome homolog of the Y chromosome RBMY gene. Pseudogenes of the RBMX gene, found on chromosomes 1, 4, 9, 11, and 6, were likely derived by retrotransposition from the original gene. This gene has lost an exon-intron structure of the coding region, compared to the RBMX gene. The exact function of this gene is unknown.
