CATEGORY

transcription factor , tumor suppressor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome

basic FUNCTION	may be playing a role in renal development
	involved in the repair of the kidney after ischemia- reperfusion or folic acid administration
	blocking TP53-MDM2 interactiona, activating TP53 in tumors and inducing massive apoptosis ( candidate for anticancer drugs that targets tumors with wild-type TP53)
	involved in the development of follicular adenomas
	possesses important functions for the suppression of gastric carcinogenesis as a novel functional tumor-suppressor gene
