Gene Identification
TEKT5 was identified and characterized as a cancer-testis gene by Hanafusa et al., 2012 (PMID:23151147).
Gene structure and chromosomal localization
The human TEKT5 gene consists of 7 exons and is located on chromosome 16p13.13. The deduced amino acid sequence of human TEKT5 showed a high degree of identity with the ortholog of the mouse (83%) and rat (83%), respectively. Among the five human TEKTs the amino acid sequence is significantly different except in the tektin signature sequence (RPNVELCRD) (Hanafusa et al., 2012 PMID:23151147).
Chromosome band: 16p13.13
