NMYC interactor (NMI) encodes a protein that interacts
with NMYC and CMYC (two members of the oncogene Myc family), and
other transcription factors containing a Zip, HLH, or HLH-Zip
motif. The NMI protein also interacts with all STATs except STAT2
and augments STAT-mediated transcription in response to cytokines
IL2 and IFN-gamma. The NMI mRNA has low expression levels in all
human fetal and adult tissues tested except brain and has high
expression in cancer cell line-myeloid leukemias. [provided by
