NANOGP8, Official Symbol NANOGP8provided by HGNC Official Full Name Nanog homeobox retrogene P8provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:23106 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000255192 AllianceGenome:HGNC:23106 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as PN8; NANOGP1 Summary This gene represents a transcribed retrogene of the Nanog homeobox gene. The putative encoded protein may participate in reprogramming of cancer cells. In vitro studies using a recombinant protein have shown that the protein localizes to the nucleus and can promote cell proliferation, similar to the Nanog protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]
