Also known as: Bex1; REX-3
Summary: Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; lung; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to several human genes including BEX1 (brain expressed X-linked 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Annotation information: Note: The Bex1 and Bex2 genes appear to have undergone gene conversion, exchanging bits of coding sequence with each other. This complicates determination of orthologs in other species. For this reason, gene name assignments may not be consistent between species. [06 Dec 2023]
Expression: Biased expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 143.6), placenta adult (RPKM 136.7) and 12 other tissues See more

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.
