What is "egot"

EGOT, also known as Eosinophil Granule Ontogeny (EGO)† Transcript ( non-protein coding), is a human gene at 3p26.1 that produces a long noncoding RNA molecule. EGOT is nested within an intron of the inositol triphosphate receptor type 1 ( ITPR1) gene. The EGOT transcript is expressed during eosinophil development and is possibly involved in regulating eosinophil granule protein expression. Comparison of EGO-B, the spliced isoform, suggests EGOT may be conserved across placental mammals.

†Originally published as EGO but renamed as EGOT because 'EGO' is a real word and is therefore problematic when searching the scientific literature.

EGOT is an acronym for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony" in reference to persons who have won all four awards.

EGOT may also refer to:

• EGOT (gene), the Eosinophil Granule Ontogeny Transcript non-protein coding gene which encodes a long noncoding RNA molecule
• EGOT, the enzyme Erythrocyte Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transferase
• EGOT, the enzyme Erythrocyte Glutamate Oxalacetate Transaminase
