Gene | Encodes | Action of Gene |
---|---|---|
Xist | lncRNA | Coats inactive X chromosome and leads to silencing of transcription of many genes on the inactive X |
Tsix | lncRNA | Inhibits transcription of Xist on active X chromosome |
Jpx | lncRNA | Stimulates transcription of Xist on inactive X chromosome |
Xite | lncRNA | Sustains Tsix expression on active X, which inhibits Xist and maintains transcription of genes on active X chromosome |
