Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, respo ...
that in humans is encoded by the ''NOL3''
gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "...Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a ba ...

Nol3 has been shown to be induced in multiple cancer types and acts as a repressor of apoptosis leading to resistance and proliferation.
Paradoxically, loss of Nol3 also leads to hematological disruption in mice resulting in a myeloproliferative neoplasm resembling primary myelofibrosis (PMF), and its deletion has also been detected in patient samples of PMF.

and
Caspase 8
Caspase-8 is a caspase protein, encoded by the ''CASP8'' gene. It most likely acts upon caspase-3.
''CASP8'' orthologs have been identified in numerous mammals for which complete genome data are available. These unique orthologs are also present ...
