NCIt definition : Human LIN28 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.11 and is approximately
19 kb in length. This allele, which encodes lin-28 homolog A protein, plays a role
in the modulation of translation. This gene is essential for the differentiation of
skeletal muscle cells.;
NCIt note : Expression of the LIN28 gene has been linked to the establishment of pluripotent stem
cells.;
