GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LDOC1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
BCUR1, Mar7, Mart7
Description
Leucine zipper, down-regulated in cancer 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a leucine zipper-like motif and a proline-rich region that shares marked similarity with an SH3-binding domain. The protein localizes to the nucleus and is down-regulated in some cancer cell lines. It is thought to regulate the transcriptional response mediated by the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). The gene has been proposed as a tumor suppressor gene whose protein product may have an important role in the development and/or progression of some cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
