Bex2 brain expressed X-linked 2 [Rattus norvegicus (Norway rat)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: Bex2provided by RGD
Official Full Name: brain expressed X-linked 2provided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:1564466
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000032729 AllianceGenome:RGD:1564466
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Also known as: Bex1; Bex22; EG2RVC
Summary: Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of apoptotic process; regulation of cell cycle; and signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including BEX2 (brain expressed X-linked 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Annotation information: Note: The Bex1 and Bex2 genes appear to have undergone gene conversion, exchanging bits of coding sequence with each other. This complicates determination of orthologs in other species. For this reason, gene name assignments may not be consistent between species. [06 Dec 2023]
Expression: Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 415.4), Adrenal (RPKM 62.5) and 4 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
