Gene:
ubiquitously-expressed transcript
Gene ID:
200103
Symbol:
UXT
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a novel protein which is highly conserved in mouse. It interacts with the N-terminus of the androgen receptor and plays a role in facilitating receptor-induced transcriptional activation. It is also likely to be involved in tumorigenesis as it is abundantly expressed in tumor tissues. This gene is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23. Alternative splicing results in 2 transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
