Gene:
ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat gene, Y-linked
Gene ID:
191736
Symbol:
UTY
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats which are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein is a minor histocompatibility antigen which may induce graft rejection of male stem cell grafts. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
