Gene: C1orf56

Alternate names for this Gene: MENT

Gene Summary: This gene is a proto-oncogene whose promoter is methylated by DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B), which represses the proto-oncogene. However, a catalytically inactive isoform of DNMT3B is overexpressed in lymphomas, leading to hypomethylation of the proto-oncogene's promoter and derepression of the proto-oncogene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q21.3

Description of this Gene: chromosome 1 open reading frame 56

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: BNIPL

Alternate names for this Gene: BNIP-S|BNIP-Salpha|BNIP-Sbeta|BNIPL-1|BNIPL-2|BNIPL1|BNIPL2|BNIPS|PP753

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with several other proteins, such as BCL2, ARHGAP1, MIF and GFER. It may function as a bridge molecule between BCL2 and ARHGAP1/CDC42 in promoting cell death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
