Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: THG1; CT107; PEPP2; PEPP-2
Summary: This gene, which encodes a transcriptional repressor, is one of two paralogous X-linked homeobox-containing genes and is highly expressed in a variety of cancers. In addition, the encoded protein associates with the cell membrane and with microtubules, and is concentrated at the leading edge of migratory cells. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

What's a GeneRIF?

Human Thg1, two critical tRNA-interacting residues, His-152 and Lys-187, alanine-substituted variants maintain a similar overall interaction with the anticodon region, arguing against the sufficiency of this interaction for driving catalysis. Instead, conservative mutagenesis revealed a new direct function for these residues in recognition of a non-Watson-Crick G-1:A73 bp

In striking contrast to non-human primates, humans appear to have homogenized their two RHOXF2 copies by the endogenous retrovirus -mediated non-allelic recombination mechanism.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
