Background:  The Pim family serine/threonine protein kinases were first identified in studies examining genes targeted for proviral insertion in murine leukemia virus-induced T lymphomas. Increased levels of Pim kinases predispose cells to lymphomagenesis and enhance the activity of mitogenic proteins such as p100, c-Myb, and Cdc25A. In addition, Pim kinases are also involved in modulation of synaptic strength in neurons and anti-apoptotic signaling in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Pim-3, a member of the proto-oncogene Pim family that expresses serine/threonine kinase activity, shares significant homology with Pim-1 serine/threonine protein kinases. Pim-3 may function as a mediator of synaptic plasticity in the brain and is presumably involved in the anti-apoptosis process and cell cycle progression as well as the proliferation of human hepatoma cell lines. The Pim-3 protein is widely expressed, however no expression is observed in the colon, thymus, or small intestine.
