DPPA5 encodes a protein that may function in the control of cell pluripotency and early embryogenesis. Expression of this gene is a specific marker for pluripotent stem cells. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosome 10 and the long arm of chromosomes 14 and 19. DPPA5 (Developmental Pluripotency Associated 5) is a Protein Coding gene.
