X chromosome inactivation provides dosage compensation for the expression level of X-linked genes from the single X in males and the two in females. This X chromosome gene is intronless and was identified because its transcription escapes X inactivation in females. This gene does not make a protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Function:
Highly expressed in pancreas, heart and liver followed by brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney. Mostly expressed in females.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in pancreas, heart and liver followed by brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney. Mostly expressed in females.
