Full name: NME/NM23 family member 8

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CILD6; DNAI8; HEL-S-99; NM23-H8; SPTRX2; TXNDC3; sptrx-2

Summary: This gene encodes a protein with an N-terminal thioredoxin domain and three C-terminal nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) domains, but the NDK domains are thought to be catalytically inactive. The sea urchin ortholog of this gene encodes a component of sperm outer dynein arms, and the protein is implicated in ciliary function. Mutations in this gene are implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia type 6.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Expression: Biased expression in testis (RPKM 4.9), bone marrow (RPKM 3.6) and 3 other tissues

Gene size: 51801bp
