Summary

This gene encodes a subnuclear organelle and major component of the PML (promyelocytic leukemia)-SP100 nuclear bodies. PML and SP100 are covalently modified by the SUMO-1 modifier, which is considered crucial to nuclear body interactions. The encoded protein binds heterochromatin proteins and is thought to play a role in tumorigenesis, immunity, and gene regulation. Alternatively spliced variants have been identified for this gene; one of which encodes a high-mobility group protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that exosomes from heat stroke patients showed significant upregulation of the SP100 mRNA, which is associated with inflammatory response, as verified by qPCR array [Li et al. DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2021.624753].
