The hominoid-specific gene DSCR4 is involved in regulation of human leukocyte migration

2017-09-06

Abstract excerpt

DSCR4 (Down syndrome critical region 4) is an orphan retrotransposon-derived de-novo originated protein coding gene present only in hominoids (humans and great apes). Despite being located on the medically critical genomic region and abundance of evidences indicating its functionality, the role of this gene in human cells was utterly unknown. Due to absence of any prior knowledge regarding the function of DSCR4, f...
