SPX - spexin hormone Gene
Also Known as C12orf39
Species: Homo sapiens
About SPX
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants) and 180 orthologues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 72.3), thyroid (RPKM 9.5) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a hormone involved in modulation of cardiovascular and renal function. It has also been shown in rats to cause weight loss. Several transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
