Summary
Predicted to be involved in spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in nucleus and peroxisome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
Forensic Context
A study in humans and mice identified PXT1 as a gene located in the KCTD20/STK38 region that previously neared genome-wide significance for cocaine dependence in a prior analysis of the same sample [Huggett et al. DOI:10.1111/Adb.12719].
