description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within response to wounding. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human PVT1 (Pvt1 oncogene). PHENOTYPE: 10-25% of B-cell plasmacytomas have (6;15) translocations that bring Myc into proximity with Igk. The Chr 15 breakpoint occurs at Pvt1, located >72 kb distal to Myc. These tumors have an activated Myc. In addition, some T-cell lymphomas have been shown to have proviral inserts at the Pvt1 locus. [provided by MGI curators] |
