PPT2-EGFL8, Official Symbol PPT2-EGFL8provided by HGNC Official Full Name PPT2-EGFL8 readthrough (NMD candidate)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:48343 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000258388 AllianceGenome:HGNC:48343 Gene type ncRNA RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as PPT2; PPT-2 Summary This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2) and EGFL8 (EGF-like-domain, multiple 8) genes located in the major histocompatibility complex class III region of chromosome 6. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product.
