NCIt definition : Human FHIT wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p14.2 and is approximately
1499 kb in length. This allele, which encodes bis(5'-adenosyl)-triphosphatase protein,
is involved in the hydrolysis of P1-P3-bis(5'-adenosyl) triphosphate. FHIT gene dysfunction
is associated with human cancers including carcinomas of the cervix, esophageus, lung,
kidney, and stomach.;
