EGOT (gene)

100126791n/aENSG00000235947n/anan/an/an/an/an/aEGOT, also known as Eosinophil Granule Ontogeny (EGO)† Transcript (non-protein coding),[3] is a human gene at 3p26.1 that produces a long noncoding RNA molecule.

EGOT is nested within an intron of the inositol triphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene.

The EGOT transcript is expressed during eosinophil development and is possibly involved in regulating eosinophil granule protein expression.

[3] Comparison of EGO-B, the spliced isoform, suggests EGOT may be conserved across placental mammals.

[4] †Originally published as EGO but renamed as EGOT because 'EGO' is a real word and is therefore problematic when searching the scientific literature.
