Entrez Gene summary for MEST Gene:

This gene encodes a member of the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. It is imprinted, exhibiting preferential

expression from the paternal allele in fetal tissues, and isoform-specific imprinting in lymphocytes. The loss of

imprinting of this gene has been linked to certain types of cancer and may be due to promotor switching. The

encoded protein may play a role in development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple

isoforms have been identified for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosomes

3 and 4, and the long arm of chromosomes 6 and 15. (provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011)

GeneCards Summary for MEST Gene:

MEST (mesoderm specific transcript) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with MEST include cystic nephroma, and silver-russell syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include hydrolase activity.
