Identification and characterization of UBXD1, a novel UBX domain-containing gene on human chromosome 19p13, and its mouse ortholog

Biochim Biophys Acta. 2001 Jan 26;1517(2):298-301. doi: 10.1016/s0167-4781(00)00248-7.

Abstract

We have identified a novel human gene, UBXD1, on chromosome 19p13, which encodes a putative protein containing a UBX domain. Expression analysis showed an enhanced presence in testis. We identified the corresponding orthologous genes in mouse and rat. The characterization of UBXD1 has allowed us to define a new class of UBX domain-containing proteins conserved during evolution.
