Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Protein Red is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IK gene .[ 5] [ 6]
The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its RED repeat, a stretch of repeated arginine , glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues. The protein localizes to discrete dots within the nucleus , excluding the nucleolus . Its function is unknown. This gene maps to chromosome 5 ; however, a pseudogene may exist on chromosome 2 .[ 6]
