About LGALS9B

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 350 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Biased expression in stomach (RPKM 25.2), gall bladder (RPKM 10.0) and 4 other tissues.

Summary

This gene was initially thought to represent a pseudogene of Galectin 9; however, this transcript has good exon-intron structure and encodes a predicted protein of the same size as and highly similar to Galectin 9. This gene is one of two similar loci on chromosome 17p similar to Galectin 9 and now thought to be protein-encoding. This gene is the more centromeric gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
