Description
Product Characteristics:
Acts as a tumor suppressor. Inhibits DNA synthesis. Its ability to inhibit oncogenic transformation is mediated through its association with RB1. Plays a role in the expression of genes required for the G1/S transition.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: TGS, BARA, TGS1, TGS2, Lin-9, BARPsv, Protein lin-9 homolog, HuLin-9, hLin-9, Beta subunit-associated regulator of apoptosis, TUDOR gene similar protein, Type I interferon receptor beta chain-associated protein, pRB-associated protein, LIN9
Target Information: This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that inhibits DNA synthesis and oncogenic transformation through association with the retinoblastoma 1 protein. The encoded protein also interacts with a complex of other cell cycle regulators to repress cell cycle-dependent gene expression in non-dividing cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
