转化酸性螺旋蛋白是中心体和微管相互作用蛋白的一个保守家族，与癌症有关。这个基因编码一种在整个细胞周期中集中于中心体的蛋白质。该基因位于与肿瘤发生相关的染色体区域内这种基因的表达是由促红细胞生成素诱导的，被认为会影响乳腺肿瘤的进展。已经发现了一些编码不同亚型的转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
Transforming acidic coiled-coil proteins are a conserved family of centrosome- and microtubule-interacting proteins that are implicated in cancer. This gene encodes a protein that concentrates at centrosomes throughout the cell cycle. This gene lies within a chromosomal region associated with tumorigenesis. Expression of this gene is induced by erythropoietin and is thought to affect the progression of breast tumors. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
