Gene: CHURC1-FNTB

Alternate names for this Gene: FNTB|FTase-beta

Gene Summary: This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring CHURC1 (churchill domain containing 1) and FNTB (farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, beta) on chromosome 14. The read-through transcript produces a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q23.3

Description of this Gene: CHURC1-FNTB readthrough

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: FNTB

Alternate names for this Gene: FPTB

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: MAX

Alternate names for this Gene: bHLHd4

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZ) family of transcription factors. It is able to form homodimers and heterodimers with other family members, which include Mad, Mxi1 and Myc. Myc is an oncoprotein implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The homodimers and heterodimers compete for a common DNA target site (the E box) and rearrangement among these dimer forms provides a complex system of transcriptional regulation. Mutations of this gene have been reported to be associated with hereditary pheochromocytoma. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
