ZNF8-ERVK3-1, Official Symbol ZNF8-ERVK3-1provided by HGNC Official Full Name ZNF8-ERVK3-1 readthrough (NMD candidate)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:56757 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000267216 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 readthrough transcription between the neighboring ZNF8 (zinc finger protein 8) and ERVK3-1 (endogenous retrovirus group K3, member 1) genes on chromosome 19. The readthrough transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
