CSF3 Gene

colony stimulating factor 3 (granulocyte)

This gene encodes a member of the IL-6 superfamily of cytokines. The encoded cytokine controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes. Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell that are part of the innate immune response. A modified form of this protein is commonly administered to manage chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

INE2 Gene

inactivation escape 2 (non-protein coding)

INE1 Gene

inactivation escape 1 (non-protein coding)

X chromosome inactivation provides dosage compensation for the expression level of X-linked genes from the single X in males and the two in females. This X chromosome gene is intronless and was identified because its transcription escapes X inactivation in females. This gene does not make a protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

SXI2 Gene

X inactivation, familial skewed, 2

XIC Gene
