The
proto-oncogene Pokemon is typically over
expressed in cancers, and the protein Pikachurin
is associated with ribbon synapses in the
retina. Studying the former is of interest in
molecular oncology and the latter in the
neurodevelopment of vision. We quantified the
expression levels of Pokemon and
Pikachurin in the Pokémon Pikachu, where the
gene and protein both act as in other
vertebrates. The controversy over their naming
remains an issue.
