Gene: TIGD5

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tigger subfamily of the pogo superfamily of DNA-mediated transposons in humans. These proteins are related to DNA transposons found in fungi and nematodes, and more distantly to the Tc1 and mariner transposases. They are also very similar to the major mammalian centromere protein B. The exact function of this gene is not known.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q24.3

Description of this Gene: tigger transposable element derived 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
