About RGN

Cytogenetic location: Xp11.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:47,078,443-47,093,313 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 210 orthologues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 68.0), adrenal (RPKM 65.2) and 11 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a highly conserved, calcium-binding protein, that is preferentially expressed in the liver and kidney. It may have an important role in calcium homeostasis. Studies in rat indicate that this protein may also play a role in aging, as it shows age-associated down-regulation. This gene is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.3-Xp11.23. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
