Gene information for MYCN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4613
Official gene symbolMYCN
Full namev-myc myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived (avian)
Aliases,MODED,N-myc,NMYC,ODED,bHLHe37,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the MYC family and encodes a protein with a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain. This protein is located in the nucleus and must dimerize with another bHLH protein in order to bind DNA. Amplification of this gene is associated with a variety of tumors, most notably neuroblastomas. [provided by RefSeq]
