L3MBTL1: Lysates

L3MBTL1 encodes the homolog of a protein identified in Drosophila as a suppressor of malignant transformation of neuroblasts and ganglion-mother cells in the optic centers of the brain. This gene product is localized to condensed chromosomes in mitotic cells. Overexpression of this gene in a glioma cell line results in improper nuclear segregation and cytokinesis producing multinucleated cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
