Full name: lin-9 DREAM MuvB core complex component

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BARA; BARPsv; Lin-9; TGS; TGS1; TGS2

Summary: This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that inhibits DNA synthesis and oncogenic transformation through association with the retinoblastoma 1 protein. The encoded protein also interacts with a complex of other cell cycle regulators to repress cell cycle-dependent gene expression in non-dividing cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
