PIM3 Pim-3 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase

Gene ID: 415116, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: pim-3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and PIM subfamily. This gene is overexpressed in hematological and epithelial tumors and is associated with MYC coexpression. It plays a role in the regulation of signal transduction cascades, contributing to both cell proliferation and survival, and provides a selective advantage in tumorigenesis.
