TEX9
Description
The TEX9 (testis expressed 9) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
TEX9, or Testis-expressed protein 9, is a protein encoded by the TEX9 gene in humans. It is a 391-amino acid protein with two coiled-coil regions. The gene is conserved across many species, indicating its importance. Although the exact function of TEX9 is unknown, it is thought to possess ATP-binding properties. The gene is located on chromosome 15 at 15q21.3, spanning from base 56,365,573 to 56,428,441. It is composed of 18 exons, although some overlap, resulting in 13 distinguishable exons. The expression of TEX9 is highest in the testes, followed by the thyroid, duodenum, and kidney. The promoter for TEX9 has been identified as GXP_7531542, and multiple transcription factors are predicted to regulate its transcription.
TEX9 is also known as -.
