| ncRNA Symbol: | EI24 | | Full Name: | EI24, autophagy associated transmembrane protein | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | EPG4|PIG8|TP53I8 | | Chromosome: | chr11 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 125569216 | End Site(bp): | 125584687 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a putative tumor suppressor and has higher expression in p53-expressing cells than in control cells and is an immediate-early induction target of p53-mediated apoptosis. The encoded protein may suppress cell growth by inducing apoptotic cell death through the caspase 9 and mitochondrial pathways. This gene is located on human chromosome 11q24, a region frequently altered in cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 1, 3, 7, and 8. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014] | | External Links: | |
