Gene information for PIR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8544
Official gene symbolPIR
Full namepirin (iron-binding nuclear protein)
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cupin superfamily. The encoded protein is an Fe(II)-containing nuclear protein expressed in all tissues of the body and concentrated within dot-like subnuclear structures. Interactions with nuclear factor I/CCAAT box transcription factor as well as B cell lymphoma 3-encoded oncoprotein suggest the encoded protein may act as a transcriptional cofactor and be involved in the regulation of DNA transcription and replication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
