{"symbol":"PPT2-EGFL8","synonyms":["PPT2"],"name":"PPT2-EGFL8 readthrough (NMD candidate)","description":"This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2) and EGFL8 (EGF-like-domain, multiple 8) genes located in the major histocompatibility complex class III region of chromosome 6. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product.
