簡要描述：PIM1 is a member of the serine/threonine kinase PIM oncogene family. PIM1 has been implicated in lymphomagenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and tumourigenesis. The PIM1 protein kinase is upregulated in prostate cancer.
The Pim family serine/threonine protein kinases were first identified in studies examining genes targeted for proviral insertion in murine leukemia virus-induced T lymphomas. Increased levels of Pim kinases predispose cells to lymphomagenesis and enhance t
