Neighbor of BRCA1 gene 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NBR1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene was originally identified as an ovarian tumor antigen monitored in ovarian cancer. The encoded protein contains a B-box/coiled coil motif which is present in many genes with transformation potential but the function of this protein is unknown. This gene is located on a region of chromosome 17q21.1 that is in close proximity to tumor suppressor gene BRCA1.
