DNA-Binding Transcriptional Activator-NCYM Definition

Expressed in fetal brain, lung, liver, and kidney by human NCYM Gene, 109-aa 12-kDa DNA-Binding Transcriptional Activator NCYM contains a helix-loop-helix motif and a basic region. NCYM appears to function as a DNA-binding protein during normal fetal development and is implicated in the pathogenesis of human tumors. The NCYM transcription unit is located on the opposite strand to NMYC, with extensive overlap between the 5-prime ends of the two units. NMYC and NCYM appear to be coregulated under basal growth conditions and in response to retinoic acid. (NCI)
