In molecular biology FTX transcript XIST regulator (non-protein coding) also known as FTX (Five prime to Xist) is a long non-coding RNA. In humans it is located on the X chromosome. It was identified during sequence analysis of the X inactivation centre surrounding the XIST gene. FTX contains several microRNAs within its introns. It upregulates expression of XIST and inhibits DNA methylation of the XIST promoter.
