Gene: BLOC1S5-TXNDC5

Alternate names for this Gene: MUTED-TXNDC5

Gene Summary: This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring MUTED (muted homolog) and TXNDC5 (thioredoxin domain containing 5) genes on chromosome 6. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and is unlikely to produce a protein product.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p24.3

Description of this Gene: BLOC1S5-TXNDC5 readthrough (NMD candidate)

Type of Gene: ncRNA
