ARMCX2, ALEX2, KIAA0512, Armadillo repeat-containing X-linked protein 2, ARM protein lost in epithelial cancers on chromosome X 2, Protein ALEX2
armadillo repeat containing, X-linked 2(ARMCX2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a protein containing a potential N-terminal transmembrane domain and multiple armadillo (arm) repeats. Proteins containing arm repeats are involved in development, maintenance of tissue integrity, and tumorigenesis. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes on chromosome X. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 7. Alternative splicing in the 5 UTR results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013],similarity:Contains 3 ARM repeats.,tissue specificity:Expressed at high levels ovary, heart, testis, prostate, brain, spleen and colon. Expressed at very low levels in liver and thymus. Not expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes. Not expressed in pancreas and ovarian carcinomas.,
