关于 LGALS9B

功能概要

该基因最初被认为代表半乳糖凝集素 9 的假基因；然而，该转录本具有良好的外显子-内含子结构，并编码与半乳糖凝集素 9 大小相同且高度相似的预测蛋白质。该基因是染色体 17p 上与半乳糖凝集素 9 相似的两个相似基因座之一，现在被认为是蛋白质编码基因.这个基因是更着丝粒的基因。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

This gene was initially thought to represent a pseudogene of Galectin 9; however, this transcript has good exon-intron structure and encodes a predicted protein of the same size as and highly similar to Galectin 9. This gene is one of two similar loci on chromosome 17p similar to Galectin 9 and now thought to be protein-encoding. This gene is the more centromeric gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
