Human MESDC1 protein, His tag

This gene encodes a protein that is regulated by micro RNA MiR-574-3, and is thought to have an oncogenic function in human bladder cancer. A similar gene in mouse is located in a chromosomal region critical for differentiation of mesoderm, which affects embryo patterning and the formation of heart, muscle, blood, skeleton and the urogenital system. The mouse gene is expressed in early development, and in the adult. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 216]
