該基因反義轉錄至v-myc禽骨髓細胞瘤病毒癌基因神經母細胞瘤衍生同源基因（mycn）。它被認為編碼一種穩定MYCN、防止細胞凋亡和促進細胞增殖的新型小蛋白該位點的轉錄物也可以直接作為功能性rnas向mycn的啟動子招募轉錄調節因子并刺激該癌基因的轉錄。因此，這種基因通過rna和蛋白質產物發揮作用。[由RefSeq提供，2016年8月]
This gene is transcribed in antisense to the v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma derived homolog gene (MYCN). It is thought to encode a small, novel protein that stabilizes MYCN, prevents apoptosis, and promotes cell proliferation. Transcripts at this locus may also act directly as functional RNAs to recruit transcriptional regulators to the promoter of MYCN and stimulate transcription of this oncogene. This gene therefore functions through both RNA and protein products. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
