Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: Bex2; Bex4; Rex3
Summary: Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axon regeneration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; ganglia; gonad; gut; and lung. Orthologous to human BEX2 (brain expressed X-linked 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Annotation information: Note: The Bex1 and Bex2 genes appear to have undergone gene conversion, exchanging bits of coding sequence with each other. This complicates determination of orthologs in other species. For this reason, gene name assignments may not be consistent between species. [06 Dec 2023]
Expression: Biased expression in placenta adult (RPKM 230.0), liver E14 (RPKM 115.8) and 10 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
