VCX2 - variable charge X-linked 2 Gene
Also Known as VCXB; VCX2R; VCX-2r
Species: Homo sapiens
About VCX2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 34 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 16.4).
Summary
This gene belongs to the VCX/Y gene family, which has multiple members on both X and Y chromosomes that are expressed exclusively in male germ cells. The VCX gene cluster is polymorphic in terms of copy number; different individuals may have a different number of VCX genes. This gene contains two copies of a 30 nt tandem repeat. Deletion of a nearby member of this family was implicated in cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
