Harmonizome 3.0

tektin 2 (testicular)

This gene product belongs to the tektin family of proteins. Tektins comprise a family of filament-forming proteins that are coassembled with tubulins to form ciliary and flagellar microtubules. This gene is expressed in the testis and its protein is localized to the flagella of the sperms, indicating that it may play a role in spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

fascin actin-bundling protein 3, testicular

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament bundle assembly; cell migration; and establishment or maintenance of cell polarity. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; microvillus; and ruffle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

testicular germ cell tumor susceptibility 1

acid phosphatase, testicular

Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium. This gene is up-regulated by androgens and is down-regulated by estrogens in the prostate cancer cell line. This gene exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. The protein encoded by this gene has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

testicular cell adhesion molecule 1, pseudogene

This pseudogene is located downstream from the growth hormone locus on chromosome 17. This locus evolved by a series of partial duplications that have disrupted the human gene. A homologous gene in mouse encodes a testis-specific cell adhesion protein that may play a role in germ cell-Sertoli cell interactions. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 4

Cholangitis, primary sclerosing

primary cilia formation

Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of kinase activity. Predicted to be located in ciliary basal body and trans-Golgi network. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

Intestinal pseudoobstruction, neuronal, primary idiopathic

primary pulmonary hypertension 2

Primary lateral sclerosis, adult, 1

myeloid differentiation primary response 88

This gene encodes a cytosolic adapter protein that plays a central role in the innate and adaptive immune response. This protein functions as an essential signal transducer in the interleukin-1 and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. These pathways regulate that activation of numerous proinflammatory genes. The encoded protein consists of an N-terminal death domain and a C-terminal Toll-interleukin1 receptor domain. Patients with defects in this gene have an increased susceptibility to pyogenic bacterial infections. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

deleted in primary ciliary dyskinesia homolog (mouse)

This gene in mouse encodes a protein that may be involved in the generation and maintenance of ciliated cells. In mouse, expression of this gene increases during ciliated cell differentiation, and disruption of this gene has been linked to primary ciliary dyskinesia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
