PRSS16 - serine protease 16 Gene
Also Known as TSSP
Species: Homo sapiens
About PRSS16
This gene has 20 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 6.8), stomach (RPKM 3.4) and 17 other tissues.
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
