About DPPA5

Cytogenetic location: 6q13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:73,353,063-73,354,276 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 99 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 1.1), lung (RPKM 0.4) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may function in the control of cell pluripotency and early embryogenesis. Expression of this gene is a specific marker for pluripotent stem cells. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosome 10 and the long arm of chromosomes 14 and 19. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
