Gene: PRSS16

Alternate names for this Gene: TSSP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a serine protease expressed exclusively in the thymus. It is thought to play a role in the alternative antigen presenting pathway used by cortical thymic epithelial cells during the positive selection of T cells. The gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6, near the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region. A second transcript variant has been described, but its full length nature has not been determined.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p22.1

Description of this Gene: serine protease 16

Type of Gene: protein-coding
