FLJ20416 , TAPL-2Unified entry for genes NXF2, NXF2B (nearly-identical copies)
Gene copies
NXF2 and NXF2B share 100% identity in 3 blocks (genomic region of NM_001099686). There are segments of 44 and 40 nt missing in the copy located in the plus strand. One copy is in the plus strand and the other in the minus strand.
NM_001099686 (NXF2B) and NM_017809 (NXF2) align in two blocks of 99% identity (1 mismatch in each), indicating that NM_017809 might be a splicing variant (exon skip) of NXF2, NXF2B or both. NM_022053 (NXF2) is a shorter mRNA with an extra exon.

Phylogenetic relationships with CT genes
This gene belongs to the NXF family.
Gene Identification
NXF2 was identified by molecular methods: search for possible orthologues of murine testis-specific gene products (Loriot et al., 2003 PMID: 12704671).
Gene structure and chromosomal localization
Chromosomal mapping data of NFX2 to Xq22.1 were retrieved from GenBank and confirmed by RH mapping (Wang et al., 2001 PMID: 11279525).
Chromosome band: Xq22.1
