High impact information on CXorf1

• In particular, CXorf1 was localized in the granular-cell layer of the dentate gyrus and in the CA2-CA3 subfields of Ammon's horn [1].
• In situ hybridization experiments performed on sections of human hippocampus showed a clear, uneven localization of the CXorf1 mRNA in specific subfields of this brain area [1].
• We have identified and characterized a novel human gene (Nomenclature Committee of the Genome Database GDB-assigned symbol CXorf1) that maps to the long arm of the X chromosome in Xq27 between loci DXS369 and DXS181, approximately 2.5 Mb centromeric to the FMR1 gene [1].

Anatomical context of CXorf1

• Identification of CXorf1, a novel intronless gene in Xq27.3, expressed in human hippocampus [1].
