Symbol: Pgbd5
Full name: piggyBac transposable element derived 5
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: 2900019M05Rik
Summary: The piggyBac family of proteins, found in diverse animals, are transposases related to the transposase of the canonical piggyBac transposon from the moth, Trichoplusia ni. This family also includes genes in several genomes that appear to have been derived from the piggyBac transposons. This gene belongs to the subfamily of piggyBac transposable element derived (PGBD) genes. The PGBD proteins appear to be novel, with no obvious relationship to other transposases, or other known protein families. The exact function of this gene is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
