LENG9
Description
The LENG9 (leukocyte receptor cluster member 9) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
LENG9 is an uncharacterized protein encoded by the LENG9 gene. In humans, LENG9 is predicted to play a role in fertility and reproductive disorders associated with female endometrium structures.
== Gene ==
=== Location ===
LENG9 is located at 19q13.42 on chromosome 19, spanning the sense strand (-) from 54,461,796 bp to 54,463,711 bp. The LENG9 gene is 1,930 base pairs in length and contains one exon.
=== Gene Neighborhood === Genes LENG8-AS1 and CDC42EP5 neighbor LENG9 on chromosome 19. CDC42EP5 extends over the same region of LENG9 while LENG8-AS1 is located to the left of both genes. TTYH1 and LENG8 are also found in the same gene neighborhood but are located on the opposite strand.
=== Expression ===
LENG9 is highly expressed (75-100%) in skeletal muscles and part of fetal liver tissues while ubiquitous expression of LENG9 is moderate (50-75%) in all other tissues observed. Human expression of LENG9 is observed in the cervix, lung, and placenta of adults. The gene is also expressed in disease states including lung tumors and primitive neuroectodermal tumors, usually found in children or young adults.
LENG9 is also known as -.
