About This Section

EntrezGene summary for HNRNPH2:

This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear

ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The hnRNPs are RNA binding proteins and they complex with

heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and

appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While

all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the

cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded

by this gene has three repeats of quasi-RRM domains that binds to RNAs. It is very similar to the

family member HNRPH1. This gene is thought to be involved in Fabray disease and X-linked

agammaglobulinemia phenotype. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants

encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]


UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: HNRH2_HUMAN, P55795

Function: This protein is a component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP)

complexes which provide the substrate for the processing events that pre-mRNAs undergo before

About This Section

EntrezGene summary for BRCA1:

This gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and

it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA

damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the

BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA

polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase

complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks,

and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited

breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing

plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene.

Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations,

have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has

been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified.

[provided by RefSeq]


UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BRCA1_HUMAN, P38398

Function: The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a diverse range of cellular pathways such as DNA

damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability. Acts

by mediating ubiquitin E3 ligase activity that is required for its tumor suppressor function.

Plays a central role in DNA repair by facilitating cellular response to DNA repair. Required for

appropriate cell cycle arrests after ionizing irradiation in both the S-phase and the G2 phase of

the cell cycle. Involved in transcriptional regulation of P21 in response to DNA damage. Required

for FANCD2 targeting to sites of DNA damage. May function as a transcriptional regulator. Inhibits

lipid synthesis by binding to inactive phosphorylated ACACA and preventing its dephosphorylation

EntrezGene summary for AGTR1:

Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It

is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. It

acts through at least two types of receptors. This gene encodes the type 1 receptor which is

thought to mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. This gene may play a role

in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmias following restoration of blood flow to ischemic or

infarcted myocardium. It was previously thought that a related gene, denoted as AGTR1B, existed;

however, it is now believed that there is only one type 1 receptor gene in humans. At least five

transcript variants have been described for this gene. Additional variants have been described but

their full-length nature has not been determined. The entire coding sequence is contained in the

terminal exon and is present in all transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]

exhibiting negligible incorporation into other galactoside substrates including Galbeta1-3Gal

beta1-O-benzyl, Galbeta1-4GlcNAc and Galbeta1-4Glc
