| ncRNA Symbol: | RBBP8 | | Full Name: | RB binding protein 8, endonuclease | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | COM1|CTIP|JWDS|RIM|SAE2|SCKL2 | | Chromosome: | chr18 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 22798261 | End Site(bp): | 23026488 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein. It is found among several proteins that bind directly to retinoblastoma protein, which regulates cell proliferation. This protein complexes with transcriptional co-repressor CTBP. It is also associated with BRCA1 and is thought to modulate the functions of BRCA1 in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and/or cell cycle checkpoint control. It is suggested that this gene may itself be a tumor suppressor acting in the same pathway as BRCA1. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. More transcript variants exist, but their full-length natures have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
