QRICH1 [SEP] found in taxon
expressed at a high level, 3.3 times the average gene. It is expressed ubiquitously throughout the human body, although EST Profile data reveal that QRICH1 is expressed particularly high in tissues such as the thymus, testis, cerebellar cortex and other areas of the brain, trachea, and in embryonic tissue. Health states such as germ cell tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, and chondrosarcoma have also reported high QRICH1 expression.
Homology.
Homology Orthologs.
QRICH1 is highly conserved among mammalian orthologs, along with other chordates such as fish
, birds, and amphibians. The gene has some conservation among insects, but there were no orthologs found in plants, fungi, or yeast.
Homology Paralogs.
QRICH1 has five paralogs all of which encode a zinc finger protein.
