Gene:
chromosome 2 open reading frame 3
Gene ID:
191350
Symbol:
C2orf3
Species:
1000
Description:
The first mRNA transcript isolated for this gene was part of an artificial chimera derived from two distinct gene transcripts and a primer used in the cloning process (see Genbank accession M29204). A positively charged amino terminus present only in the chimera was determined to bind GC-rich DNA, thus mistakenly thought to identify a transcription factor gene.
