PRKY
Description
The PRKY (protein kinase Y-linked (pseudogene)) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome Y.
The PRKY gene encodes a protein kinase that plays a role in cellular signaling. It belongs to the cAMP-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase family and is located on the Y chromosome near the pseudoautosomal region. Abnormal recombination events between this gene and its counterpart on the X chromosome can lead to XX males and XY females.
PRKY is also known as PRKXP3, PRKYP.
