TIGD1, Official Symbol TIGD1provided by HGNC Official Full Name tigger transposable element derived 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:14523 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000221944 MIM:612972; AllianceGenome:HGNC:14523 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as EEYORE Summary The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tigger subfamily of the pogo superfamily of DNA-mediated transposons in humans. These proteins are related to DNA transposons found in fungi and nematodes, and more distantly to the Tc1 and mariner transposases. They are also very similar to the major mammalian centromere protein B. The exact function of this gene is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Orthologs all
