Description | Homo sapiens FTX transcript, XIST regulator (non-protein coding) (FTX), non-coding RNA. |
RefSeq Summary | This gene is located upstream of XIST, within the X-inactivation center (XIC). It produces a spliced long non-coding RNA that is thought to positively regulate the expression of XIST, which is essential for the initiation and spread of X-inactivation.
