HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: COX7B2
Cytogenetic location: 4p12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:46,734,827-46,909,245 (from NCBI)
The COX7B2 gene encodes an 80-residue protein and has a 499-bp mRNA transcript (Liang et al., 2004; Strausberg et al., 2002).
Liang et al. (2004) stated that the COX7B2 gene contains 3 exons.
By sequence analysis, the COX7B2 gene maps to chromosome 4p12 (Strausberg et al., 2002).
For discussion of a possible association between variation in the COX7B2 gene and susceptibility to the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, see NPCA1 (607107).
