Summary

This probable pseudogene is located in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome, and is expressed specifically in testis. It is similar to the XK (X-linked Kell blood group precursor) gene, which encodes a putative membrane transport protein. This gene is present as two identical copies within a palindromic region; this record represents the more centromeric copy. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2020]
