Summary

TCEAL5 (transcription elongation factor A like 5, HGNC:22282) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq22.1, encoding Transcription elongation factor A protein-like 5 (Q5H9L2). May be involved in transcriptional regulation.

This gene, which is located on the X chromosome, encodes a protein which contains a BEX (brain expressed X-liked like family) domain. This domain is found in proteins encoded by the TCEAL elongation factor (transcription elongation factor A (SII)-like) gene family also located on the X chromosome. The coding region for this gene is located entirely in the terminal exon.
