Disease relevance of VCX3A

 

Psychiatry related information on VCX3A

 

High impact information on VCX3A

  • Our data demonstrate that VCX-A can regulate mRNA stability and that it is an example of a tissue-specific decapping regulator [2].
  • Only one gene, VCX-A (variably charged, X chromosome mRNA on CRI-S232A), was shown to reside in this interval [3].
  • Xp22.3 microdeletion including VCX-A and VCX-B1 genes in an X-linked ichthyosis family: no difference in deletion size for patients with and without mental retardation [4].
  • In addition, the colocalization for VCY and VCX-8r in COS7 cells was also observed [5].
  • 3. In this region, two potential candidate genes, VCX-A and PRKX, were excluded by sequence analysis of the coding region in patients of the two reported FG families [6].
 

Biological context of VCX3A

 

Associations of VCX3A with chemical compounds

  • Using propidium iodide staining and green fluorescent protein (GFP) tag technologies, VCY and VCX-8r proteins were mainly localized in the nucleoli of COS7 cells [5].
