Source: NCBI Gene (ID 127253)
Symbol: TYW3
Full name: tRNA-yW synthesizing protein 3 homolog
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: C1orf171
Summary: Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TYW3 is the human homolog of a yeast gene essential for yW synthesis (Noma and Suzuki, 2006).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 10.1), ovary (RPKM 8.9) and 25 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 33526bp
Exon count: 6
