NCIt definition : Human PNPT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2p15 and is approximately
60 kb in length. This allele, which encodes polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase
1, mitochondrial protein, plays a role in the mediation of mRNA processing and degradation
and the modulation of cellular senescence.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the PNPT1 gene may be associated with melanoma.;
