High impact information on Hexo2

  • Hexo1 and Hexo2 encode two homologs of the beta-subunit of all known beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases, which we have named beta(1) and beta(2), respectively [1].
  • Although none of the genes was testis-specific, fdl was highly and preferentially expressed in the testis, whereas Hexo1 and Hexo2 showed broader tissue expression [1].
