Official Full Name: MYCN opposite strand<br />Also known as: NCYM; NYCM; N-CYM; MYCN-AS1<br />The gene is transcribed antisensely with v-myc avian myeloma virus oncogene neuroblastoma homologous gene (MYCN). It is thought to encode a small, novel protein that stabilizes MYCN, prevents apoptosis, and promotes cell proliferation. Transcripts from this site can also directly serve as functional RNAs, recruiting transcriptional regulators to the promoter of MYCN and stimulating the transcription of this oncogene. Thus, the gene functions through both RNA and protein products.
