STX16-NPEPL1, Official Symbol STX16-NPEPL1provided by HGNC Official Full Name STX16-NPEPL1 readthrough (NMD candidate)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:41993 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000254995 AllianceGenome:HGNC:41993 Gene type ncRNA RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring syntaxin 16 (STX16) and aminopeptidase-like 1 (NPEPL1) genes on chromosome 20. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product.
