SFMBT1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scm-like with four mbt domains 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SFMBT1 gene. [1]

Function

[edit]

This gene shares high similarity with the Drosophila Scm (sex comb on midleg) gene. It encodes a protein which contains four malignant brain tumor repeat (mbt) domains and may be involved in antigen recognition. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012].[citation needed] It encodes a transcriptional repressor protein.[2][3] The SFMBT1 protein's interaction with cancers is unclear, but elevated levels have been recorded in some renal cancers.[4]
