motifs/domains
  • a membrane-spanning
  • an alpha-helix coiled-coil domain
  • a collagen-like domain
  • C terminus binds with cleavage and polyadenylation-specific factor 3 (CPSF3), an enzyme necessary for polyadenylation of RNA (Zhu 2009)

    basic FUNCTION
  • may be a potent tumor sup-pressor gene (Yu 2006)
  • undergoes hypermethylation in over 30 p100 of prostate cancers (Zhu (2009)
  • probably has a role beyond a cell stress-response gene (Zhu 2009)
  • induce cell death through a novel mechanism by hijacking a critical RNA processing enzyme (Zhu 2009)
