Gene symbol AIM2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PYHIN4
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q23.1-q23.2
Summary AIM2 is a member of the IFI20X /IFI16 family. It plays a putative role in tumorigenic reversion and may control cell proliferation. Interferon-gamma induces expression of AIM2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
