FAM199X

Family with sequence similarity 199, X-linked (FAM199X) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the FAM199X gene. This gene has orthologs in most vertebrates, including most mammals, birds, amphibians, and fish with some homologs within invertebrates. Within humans, this gene is commonly expressed in the brain and thyroid. The gene has been linked to some genetic disorders, such as Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease, and some cancers, such as Stomach cancer, but FAM199X's role in those diseases is not yet well understood within the scientific community.
