SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	may be involved in negative regulation of protein kinase activity, cell proliferation, signal transduction, regulation of cell cycle
	implicated in G2/M cell cycle arrest by Tp53 (Kuroda 2007)
	acts as a tumor suppressor and is often inactivated during tumor development
	having function linked to epidermal stratification and differentiation in the skin (Xin 2010)
	critical for regulating corneal epithelial proliferation and differentiation by regulating Notch signaling activity (Xin 2010)
	important G2M cell cycle checkpoint regulator and its expression is induced by DNA damage stress through a TP53-dependent pathway (Xin 2010)
	regulates corneal epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation by maintaining Notch activity (Xin 2010)
	plays a critical role in retaining epithelial polarity, through its interaction with PARD3 (Ling 2010)
	plays a critical role in retaining epithelial polarity
	regulates cytokinesis and cell cycle arrest induced by DNA damage
	maintains FOXO1 at a consistent level critical for normal B-cell antigen receptor signaling and B-cell survival
	its levels are critical for maintaining TP53 activity in response to DNA damage and regulating signal mediators such as AKT1
	TP63 and SFN play opposing roles in the development of skin tumors and the accumulation of TP63 is essential for Ras/SFN mutation-induced papilloma formation and squamous cell carcinoma carcinogenesis
	intracellular, phosphoserine binding protein, playing a regulatory role in epidermal epithelial differentiation

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with IRF6 for the keratinocyte proliferation-differentiation switch
	target of CA11 (for degradation, leading to MDM2 stabilization)
	binds to p37 AUF1, retains it in the cytoplasm probably by masking its NLS, and enhances rapid turnover of ARE (AU-rich destabilizing element)-mRNAs
	targets RFWD2 for nuclear export, thereby preventing RFWD2-mediated TP53 nuclear export
	LRFN4 complexed with SFN and NCK1 to mediate elongation in monocytic cells via RAC-1-mediated actin cytoskeleton reorganization
