Gene: NMI

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: NMYC interactor (NMI) encodes a protein that interacts with NMYC and CMYC (two members of the oncogene Myc family), and other transcription factors containing a Zip, HLH, or HLH-Zip motif. The NMI protein also interacts with all STATs except STAT2 and augments STAT-mediated transcription in response to cytokines IL2 and IFN-gamma. The NMI mRNA has low expression levels in all human fetal and adult tissues tested except brain and has high expression in cancer cell line-myeloid leukemias.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q23.3

Description of this Gene: N-myc and STAT interactor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
