NME8

Also known as CILD6, NM23-H8, SPTRX2, TXNDC3, sptrx-2, HEL-S-99, NME/NM23 family member 8, DNAI8

Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 3 (TXNDC3), also known as spermatid-specific thioredoxin-2 (Sptrx-2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NME8 gene (also known as the TXNDC3 gene) on chromosome 7.

NME8

Name: NME/NM23 family member 8
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CILD6, DNAI8, HEL-S-99, NDK8, NM23-H8, SPTRX2, TXNDC3, sptrx-2

This gene encodes a protein with an N-terminal thioredoxin domain and three C-terminal nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) domains, but the NDK domains are thought to be catalytically inactive. The sea urchin ortholog of this gene encodes a component of sperm outer dynein arms, and the protein is implicated in ciliary function. Mutations in this gene are implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia type 6.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].
