NIBAN1 Gene

Name niban apoptosis regulator 1
Description This gene encodes a member of the family with sequence similarity 129 protein family. This gene is highly expressed in several cancer cells and may serve as a prognostic marker for certain cancers. The encoded protein may play a role in regulating p53-mediated apoptosis.
