Gene information for PNMA3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID29944
Official gene symbolPNMA3
Full nameparaneoplastic antigen MA3
Aliases,MA3,MA5,MGC132756,MGC132758,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the paraneoplastic antigen MA (PNMA) gene family, whose protein products share homology with retroviral Gag proteins. They are highly expressed in the brain and also in a range of tumors associated with serious neurological phenotypes. PMID:16407312 reports the presence of a functional -1 ribosomal frameshift signal (consisting of a heptanucleotide shift motif followed 3' by a pseudoknot structure) in this gene, however, the frame-shifted product has not been characterized.
