THYN1

Thymocyte nuclear protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THYN1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a protein that is highly conserved among vertebrates and plant species and may be involved in the induction of apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.[3]
