Chapter X: Chromosome X DNA Sequence Chromosome X 528,159 Name of Protein Name of Gene amelogenin AMELX transcription Amino acid sequence mRNA 205 aa translation Cytoplasm What does this protein make up or do? A Cell Nucleus Together with ameloblastins, enamelins. And tuftelins direct the mineralization enamel to form a highly organized matrix of rods. Condition/Disease Structural defects in the amelogenin gene on the X-chromosome

Description of Chromosome X Symptoms and characteristics The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans (the other is the Y chromosome). The sex chromosomes form one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell. The X chromosome likely contains 800 to 900 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. There are no symptoms of X Chromosome, But there are some health conditions.

Description of X Chromosome Who is affected? Females Human bodys Males Outlook or quality of life Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y Chromosome. Many of these genes are located at the ends of each arm of the X chromosome in areas known as the pseudoautosomal regions.
