Gene: PALB2

Alternate names for this Gene: FANCN|PNCA3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that may function in tumor suppression. This protein binds to and colocalizes with the breast cancer 2 early onset protein (BRCA2) in nuclear foci and likely permits the stable intranuclear localization and accumulation of BRCA2.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16p12.2

Description of this Gene: partner and localizer of BRCA2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: DCTN5

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of dynactin, a component of the cytoplasmic dynein motor machinery involved in minus-end-directed transport. The encoded protein is a component of the pointed-end subcomplex and is thought to bind membranous cargo. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
