Btg3 - BTG anti-proliferation factor 3 Gene

Also Known as ANA; tob5

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 12228

Summary

This gene encodes B cell translocation gene 3, a member of the BTG gene family. This family is defined by a conserved N-terminal domain, known to bind transcription factors, and a less conserved C-terminal domain. This protein is thought to have anti-proliferative properties, and may be involved in regulating the G1-S transition to suppress cell cycle progression. Mice deficient for this gene display an increased incidence of lung cancers, and many human lung Cancer cells exhibit decreased levels of B cell translocation gene 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
