| ncRNA Symbol: | PIM1 | | Full Name: | Pim-1 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | PIM | | Chromosome: | chr6 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 37170203 | End Site(bp): | 37175426 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and PIM subfamily. This gene is expressed primarily in B-lymphoid and myeloid cell lines, and is overexpressed in hematopoietic malignancies and in prostate cancer. It plays a role in signal transduction in blood cells, contributing to both cell proliferation and survival, and thus provides a selective advantage in tumorigenesis. Both the human and orthologous mouse genes have been reported to encode two isoforms (with preferential cellular localization) resulting from the use of alternative in-frame translation initiation codons, the upstream non-AUG (CUG) and downstream AUG codons (PMIDs:16186805, 1825810).[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011] | | External Links: | |
