KIAA1549 KIAA1549 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 57670)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 57670)
Symbol: KIAA1549
Full name: KIAA1549
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: RP86
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UPF0606 family. This gene has been found to be fused to the BRAF oncogene in many cases of pilocytic astrocytoma. The fusion results from 2Mb tandem duplications at 7q34. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
