Description

The PTCHD1 (patched domain containing 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.

PTCHD1 is essential for the development and proper function of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). The TRN is a vital part of the thalamus, playing a crucial role in thalamocortical transmission, the regulation of sleep rhythms, sensorimotor processing, and attention.

PTCHD1 is also known as AUTSX4, CXDELp22.11, DELXP22.11.
