Description
BTG1 belongs to the BTG family of proteins.FUNCTION: Anti-proliferative protein. Its expression is associated with the early G1 phase of the cell cycle. A chromosomal aberration involving BTG1 may be a cause of a form of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia; translocation t(8;12)(q24;q22) with MYC. BTG2 is a member of the BTG/Tob family. This family has structurally related proteins that appear to have antiproliferative properties. BTG2 is involved in the regulation of the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. It modulates transcription regulation mediated by ESR1(referenced from Entrez Gene). BTG2 expression is induced in vivo during neurogenesis, and the gene is transiently expressed in vitro in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells after induction of neuronal differentiation by addition of nerve growth factor (NGF); suggesting that BTG2 is functionally significant during the neuronal differentiation process (PMID: 12360398)
