This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the nucleolus. Expression of this gene is induced by estrogens and Myc protein and is a marker of poor patient survival in breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015] see less This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the nucleolus.
