RBBP8

retinoblastoma binding protein 8

On chromosome: 18q11.2
Known also as: RIM; CTIP;


NCBI Gene ID: 5932
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000101773
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 604124
Species: Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein. It is found among several proteins that bind directly to retinoblastoma protein, which regulates cell proliferation. This protein complexes with transcriptional co-repressor CTBP. It is also associated with BRCA1 and is thought to modulate the functions of BRCA1 in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and/or cell cycle checkpoint control. It is suggested that this gene may itself be a tumor suppressor acting in the same pathway as BRCA1. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. More transcript variants exist, but their full-length natures have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
