NCIt definition : Human PIM1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p21.2 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein
kinase Pim-1 protein, plays a role in the proliferation and survival of blood cells.
The PIM1 gene is overexpressed in hematopoietic malignancies such as chronic myeloid
leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia.;
NCIt note : Overexpression of the PIM1 gene is associated with the development and progression
of prostate cancer.;
