More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Genes of IAP elements (a family of retrovirus-like genetic elements) which code for virus-like particles (IAPs) found regularly in rodent early embryos. ("Intracisternal" refers to the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum.) Under certain circumstances, such as DNA hypomethylation they are transcribed. Their transcripts are found in a variety of neoplasms, including plasmacytomas, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcomas, teratocarcinomas, and colon carcinomas.      Other names Intracisternal A-Particle Genes; Intracisternal A-Particle Elements; IAP Elements; Intracisternal A-Particle Gene; Intracisternal A-Particle Element; Intracisternal A Particle Genes; Intracisternal A Particle Elements; IAP Element; Genes, Intracisternal A Particle; Gene, Intracisternal A-Particle; Elements, Intracisternal A-Particle; Elements, IAP; Element, Intracisternal A-Particle; Element, IAP; A-Particle Genes, Intracisternal; A-Particle Gene, Intracisternal; A-Particle Elements, Intracisternal; A-Particle Element, Intracisternal; Gene, Intracisternal A Particle
