protein CASC5 (cancer susceptibility candidate gene 5 protein, ALL1-fused gene from chromosome 15q14, AF15q14, D40/AF15q14 protein, CASC5, KIAA1570)

Function: - component of the MIS12 complex - interacts with DSN1 & MIS12 Compartment: nucleus Alternative splicing: named isoforms=4 Expression: - highly expressed in testis - localized in germ cells, in particular in spermatocytes & in the pre-acrosome of round spermatids - detected in the acrosome of ejaculated spermatozoa - detected in adult thymus, bone marrow, colon, small intestine, appendix & placenta, & in fetal liver & thymus Pathology: - chromosomal translocation t(11;15)(q23;q14) involving CASC5 with MLL/HRX is associated with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) - translocation may give rise to a MLL-CASC5 fusion protein
