Description

NT5DC4 (5'-Nucleotidase Domain Containing 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2q11.2. It encodes a protein containing a 5'-nucleotidase domain, which may be involved in nucleotide metabolism. The gene is broadly expressed in various tissues, with highest levels in the brain and testis. Its precise biological function and disease associations are under investigation.
