YBEY ybeY metalloendoribonuclease [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 54059)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 54059)
Symbol: YBEY
Full name: ybeY metalloendoribonuclease
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: C21orf57
Summary: This gene encodes a highly conserved metalloprotein. A similar protein in bacteria acts as an endoribonuclease, and is thought to function in ribosomal RNA maturation and ribosome assembly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
Expression: Broad expression in testis (RPKM 8.0), thyroid (RPKM 5.5) and 25 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 26884bp
Exon count: 8
