About PRKY

Cytogenetic location: Yp11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): Y:7,273,972-7,381,547 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants). Broad expression in skin (RPKM 2.8), prostate (RPKM 1.9) and 19 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is similar to the protein kinase, X-linked gene in the pseudoautosomal region of the X chromosome. The gene is classified as a transcribed pseudogene because it has lost a coding exon that results in all transcripts being candidates for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and unlikely to express a protein. Abnormal recombination between this gene and a related gene on chromosome X is a frequent cause of XX males and XY females. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
