BMI1 - BMI1 proto-oncogene, polycomb ring finger Gene
Also Known as PCGF4; RNF51; FLVI2/BMI1; flvi-2/bmi-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About BMI1
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 21.4), endometrium (RPKM 20.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a ring finger protein that is major component of the polycomb group complex 1 (PRC1). This complex functions through chromatin remodeling as an essential epigenetic repressor of multiple regulatory genes involved in embryonic development and self-renewal in somatic stem cells. This protein also plays a central role in DNA damage repair. This gene is an oncogene and aberrant expression is associated with numerous cancers and is associated with resistance to certain chemotherapies. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream COMM domain containing 3 (COMMD3) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
