**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MEMO1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2p22.3 and is approximately 146 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein MEMO1, plays a role in signaling pathways that regulate cell migration and microtubule dynamics. Chromosomal rearrangements on the short arm of chromosome 2 that fuse this gene and the ALK gene are rare and associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
