Saitohin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STH gene.^[3]^[4]^[5] This intronless gene encodes for 128 amino acids in an open reading frame. It is located in the human tau gene, in the intron between exons 9 and 10. Also, a single polymorphism of a nucleotide is seen through a change of glutamine residue 7(Q7R) to arginine.^[6] It is found to be susceptible to multiple degenerative diseases, however, the exact function of the gene is still unknown.^[7]
