Gene information for DEK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7913
Official gene symbolDEK
Full nameDEK oncogene
Aliases,D6S231E,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein with one SAP domain. This protein binds to cruciform and superhelical DNA and induces positive supercoils into closed circular DNA, and is also involved in splice site selection during mRNA processing. Chromosomal aberrations involving this region, increased expression of this gene, and the presence of antibodies against this protein are all associated with various diseases. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
