cell division cycle associated 7(CDCA7) Homo sapiens This gene was identified as a c-Myc responsive gene, and behaves as a direct c-Myc target gene. Overexpression of this gene is found to enhance the transformation of lymphoblastoid cells, and it complements a transformation-defective Myc Box II mutant, suggesting its involvement in c-Myc-mediated cell transformation. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Participates in MYC-mediated cell transformation, induces anchorage-independent growth and clonogenicity in lymphoblastoid cells. Insufficient to induce tumorigenicity when overexpressed but contributes to MYC-mediated tumorigenesis. May play a role as transcriptional regulator.,induction:Activated by MYC and possibly E2F1.,miscellaneous:CDCA7 expression is correlated with MYC expression in lymphoblastoid, lymphoma and breast cancer cell lines.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous with higher level in thymus and small intestine. Overexpressed in a large number of tumors, in blood from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) blast crisis.,
