Background
MINA is a c-Myc (MYC; MIM 190080) target gene that may play a role in cell proliferation or regulation of cell growth. (Tsuneoka et al., 2002 [PubMed 12091391]; Zhang et al., 2005 [PubMed 15897898]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2008],
Function
function:Involved in cellular proliferation. May play an important role in cell growth and survival. May be involved in ribosome biogenesis, most likely during the assembly process of pre-ribosomal particles.,induction:Up-regulated in response to MYC, in alveolar macrophages from coal miners and in silica particle-treated A549 lung cancer cells.,sequence caution:Translated as Trp.,similarity:Belongs to the MINA53/NO66 family.,similarity:Contains 1 JmjC domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in liver, skeletal muscle, heart, pancreas, and placenta. Not detected in brain, lung or kidney. Expressed in several lung cancer tissues, but is barely detected in the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Also highly expressed in several esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and colon cancer tissues, and in various cancer cell lines.,
