PRR32
Description
The PRR32 (proline rich 32) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.
PRR32 is a protein encoded by the CXorf64 gene, located on chromosome X at position Xq25. This gene is relatively small, spanning 2023 bases, and is situated on the antisense (+) strand. It is flanked upstream by the DKAF12l1 gene and downstream by LOC10. PRR32 has a single exon and produces one transcript variant. This gene is primarily expressed in muscle tissue. PRR32 has been found to be overexpressed in muscle tissue from patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), suggesting a potential role in this disease. PRR32 has homologs in several other species, including chimpanzee, Rhesus monkey, dog, cow, mouse, and rat, indicating its evolutionary conservation. A total of 82 organisms have orthologs with the human PRR32 gene.
PRR32, also known as CXorf64, is a protein encoded by the CXorf64 gene on chromosome X. It appears to be involved in the regulation of gene expression, particularly in muscle tissue. Studies have shown that PRR32 is overexpressed in muscles from patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), suggesting a potential role in this disease. However, its exact function is currently unknown.
PRR32 is also known as CXorf64.
