General annotation (Comments)

Subcellular location	Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. Ref.6
Tissue specificity	Specifically expressed in testis. Ref.1
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylation on Ser-1026, Ser-1029 or Ser-1031 is important for cytoplasmic export.
Involvement in disease	A chromosomal aberration involving NUT is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;19)(q14;p13) with BRD4 which produces a BRD4-NUT fusion protein. Ref.1 A chromosomal aberration involving NUT is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;9)(q14;q34) with BRD3 which produces a BRD3-NUT fusion protein.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the FAM22 family.
