Ubiquitously-expressed transcript （UXT） is a member of the UXT family. UXT serves as a cofactor which modulates androgen receptor-dependent transcription， and also has a crucial role in tumor necrosis factor-induced apoptosis. UXT gene expression has a role in tumorigenesis. UXT is ubiquitous expressed: it is expressed in prostate epithelial cells， overexpressed in a number of tumor tissues. The highest levels are found in the heart， skeletal muscle， pancreas， kidney， liver， adrenal gland， peripheral blood leukocytes， lymph node， prostate， and thyroid and the lowest levels in bladder and uterus.
