NCIt synonyms : HMG Y; HMG-Y; High Mobility Group Protein HMG Isoform HMG-Y; High Mobility Group Protein A1b; HMGY; HMGA1b; High Mobility Group AT-Hook 1b; High Mobility Group AT-Hook Protein 1b; HMGA1;
NCIt definition : High mobility group protein HMG-Y (96 aa, 11 kDa) is encoded by the human HMGA1 gene.
This protein is involved in transcriptional modulation and chromatin remodeling.;
NCIt note : HMGA1b, encoded by the HMGA1 gene, preferentially binds to the minor groove of A T-rich
regions in double-stranded DNA. It is involved in transcriptional regulation of the
BRCA1 gene. HMGA1b overexpression accounts for BRCA1 downregulation in sporadic breast
carcinomas. (From PubMed 12640109 and NCI);
