Summary | This gene encodes a protein that has been shown to negatively regulate the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Homozygous knockout mice exhibit embryonic lethality as a result of p53-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Amplification of this gene or overexpression of the encoded protein has been linked to a range of human cancers. A pseudogene has been identified on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]. |
