Preferred Label : genes, px;
MeSH definition : DNA sequences that form the coding region for at least three proteins which regulate
the expression of HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 1 and HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 2. The
proteins are p21(x), p27(rex), and p40(tax). The tax (trans-activator x) and rex (regulator
x) genes are part of pX but are in overlapping reading frames. X was the original
designation for the sequences or region (at that time of unknown function) in the
long open reading frame (lor) which is now called pX.;
