Gene: [02p241/MYCN] avian myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene; [NMYC]
FAG | MYCN is a component of the multigene family of MYC protooncogenes (see GEM:08q241/MYC)." |
TIS | Relatively tissue-specific, intensive expression is characteristic for MYCN (in contrast to MYC1). This is related to either pronounced amplification of the locus (predominantly in tumors that are developed from primitive cells, e.g., in neuroblastomas) or enhanced expression without amplification (as is the case for developing kidney or for Wilms tumor)." |
EXP | MYCN amplification in neuroblastomas reflects a pronounced progression of tumor and increasing metastatic spreading. It is important that the amplificated copies of MYCN are found most frequently in other chromosomes rather than the standard locus of the unique gene on chr 2p." |
GEN | The gene length is 6.6 kb. Exons: 3; the first of them, in the 5'-region of the processed transcript, is not translated; the second and third exons code for the protein with MM 49 kD consisting of 456 amino acid residues." |
