NCIt definition : N-cym protein (109 aa, 12 kDa) is encoded by the human MYCNOS gene. This protein
may play a role in embryonic development.;
NCIt note : Expressed in fetal brain, lung, liver, and kidney by human NCYM Gene, 109-aa 12-kDa
DNA-Binding Transcriptional Activator NCYM contains a helix-loop-helix motif and a
basic region. NCYM may function as a DNA-binding protein during normal fetal development
and is implicated in the pathogenesis of human tumors. The NCYM transcription unit
is located on the opposite strand to NMYC, with extensive overlap between the 5-prime
ends of the two units. NMYC and NCYM appear to be coregulated under basal growth conditions
and in response to retinoic acid.;
