    text
  • muscle specific protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may play an important role in endothelial cell activation
  • negative regulator of cardiac gene expression, playing a role in the pathogenesis of heart failure
  • is involved in inhibition of vascular lesion formation (de Waard 2003)
  • stress-inducible myofibrillar protein (Torrado 2009)
  • its induction seems to be correlated with apoptotic cell death in hepatoma cells
  • it is probable that ANKRD1 has a role in the propagation of signals initiated by myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) during myogenesis
  • involved in a mechano-signaling pathway that links myofibrillar stress response to muscle gene expression
  • has a significant role in the regulation of apoptosis in human ovarian cancer cells
  • anti-inflammatory role of ANKRD1 through feedback inhibition of NFKB1 transcriptional activity by which ANKRD1 modulates the balance between physiological and pathological inflammatory responses in skeletal muscle
  • nuclear transcriptional co-factor that has additional functions in the myoplasm as a component of the muscle sarcomere
  • involved in transcriptional regulation and myofibrillar assembly
  • cardiac-specific stress-response protein that is functionally pleiotropic, playing pivotal roles in transcriptional regulation, sarcomere assembly and mechano-sensing in the heart
  • is a tumor-suppressive downstream target of the Hippo pathway that is epigenetically silenced in human cancer

    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with YBX1, TTN/titin
  • novel role for ANKRD as a transcriptional co-activator, moderately up regulating TP53 activity
  • link between desmin and ANKRD1 regulation, which may be important for ASMC (airway smooth muscle cells) homeostasis
  • in association with factors such as nucleolin, represses likely MMP13 transcription
  • ANKRD1 is a MAPK7-dependent and ERK1/2-independent gene
  • can protect against H/R induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, possibly through increasing anti-apoptosis BCL2 gene expression
  • YAP1 is protective against VSMC apoptosis induced by ER stress through inhibiting CASP8/3 activation mediated in part by upregulation of ANKRD1
  • ANKRD1 is a YAP1 target gene that is induced by RASSF1
  • ANKRD1 is involved in IRF3-mediated antiviral innate immune signaling pathways

    tumoral        
    is expressed in the majority of ovarian adenocarcinomas and higher tumor levels of ANKRD1 are found in patients with worse outcome (Scutt 2008)
    constitutional     --over  
    up-regulated in some muscle diseases including muscular dystrophy and myopathy (Matsuura 2007)
    constitutional     --over  
    tended to be induced in cases exhibiting nephrotic syndrome, and may be correlated with the severity of proteinuria in lupus nephritis (Matsuura 2007)
    constitutional     --over  
    exacerbates pathological cardiac dysfunction through enhancement of cardiomyocyte apoptosis mediated by the up-regulation of TP53
