Gene: NCKIPSD
Alternate names for this Gene: AF3P21|DIP|DIP1|ORF1|SPIN90|VIP54|WASLBP|WISH
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a nuclear localization signal. It plays a role in signal transduction, and may function in the maintenance of sarcomeres and in the assembly of myofibrils into sarcomeres. It also plays an important role in stress fiber formation This protein is involved in the formation and maintenance of dendritic spines, and modulates synaptic activity in neurons. The gene is involved in therapy-related leukemia by a chromosomal translocation t(3;11)(p21;q23) that involves this gene and the myeloid/lymphoid leukemia gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p21.31
Description of this Gene: NCK interacting protein with SH3 domain
Type of Gene: protein-coding
