Bmi1 (source code)

= Bmi1
{c}

<Bmi1> is a component of a Polycomb repressive complex involved in <chromatin>-associated <gene regulation>. Its roles include regulation of developmental and proliferative programmes. Use of <Bmi1> expression as a lineage marker is distinct from demonstrating its biochemical function or a uniquely defined stem-cell <biological population>. Interpretation therefore requires both the molecular context and the labelling strategy used in a particular experiment. <NCBI Gene by the National Library of Medicine>[Homo sapiens, BMI1 record, Summary and linked functional evidence]{ref}
