About JRK

Cytogenetic location: 8q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:142,643,682-142,669,967 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 118 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 2.4), ovary (RPKM 2.3) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a conserved protein that is similar to DNA-binding proteins, such as major centromere autoantigen B (CENPB). Inactivation of the related gene in mice resulted in epileptic seizures. Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) has been mapped to the same chromosomal location (8q24.3) as this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
