DU4L7 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Metabolic enzymes tool compounds CD44 molecule encoded by CD44This gene is located within a D4Z4 repeat array in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. The D4Z4 repeat is polymorphic in length and a similar D4Z4 repeat array has been identified on chromosome 10. Each D4Z4 repeat unit has an open reading frame (named DUX4) that encodes two homeoboxes; the repeat array and ORF is conserved in other mammals. There is no evidence for transcription of the gene at this locus though RT PCR and in vitro expression
