BRINP3

该基因在垂体瘤中高表达，但在舌鳞状细胞癌、溃疡性结肠炎和种植体周围低表达。增加该基因表达的多态性已被证明会增加血管炎症，并且该基因与心肌梗死有关联。最后，这个基因的高甲基化可能会发现作为胃癌的生物标记物是有用的。已经发现了两个编码不同亚型的转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2015年11月]
This gene is overexpressed in pituitary tumors but is underexpressed in tongue squamous cell carcinomas, ulcerative colitis, and peri-implantitis. Polymorphisms that increase expression of this gene have been shown to increase vascular inflammation, and an association of this gene with myocardial infarction has been demonstrated. Finally, hypermethylation of this gene may find usefulness as a biomarker for gastric cancer. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
