NCIt definition : Human Oncogene FPS-FES is a mutated variant of FES Gene (FES/FPS Subfamily), which
encodes 822 aa 93-kDa Tyrosine-Protein Kinase FES/FPS, a tyrosine-specific protein
kinase involved in normal hematopoiesis and containing an FCH and SH2 domain. The
FES chromosomal location is linked to a translocation identified in patients with
acute promyelocytic leukemia. A truncated transcript is generated utilizing a start
site in a far downstream exon. Oncogene FPS-FES disrupts normal cell function.;
