Gene information for ESX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80712
Official gene symbolESX1
Full nameESX homeobox 1
Aliases,ESX1L,ESXR1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a dual-function 65 kDa protein that undergoes proteolytic cleavage to produce a 45 kDa N-terminal fragment with a paired-like homeodomain and a 20 kDa C-terminal fragment with a proline-rich domain. The C-terminal fragment localizes to the cytoplasm while the N-terminal fragment localizes exclusively to the nucleus. In contrast to human, the mouse homolog has a novel PN/PF motif in the C-terminus and is paternally imprinted in placental tissue. This gene likely plays a role in placental development and spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq]
