    small molecule
    protein
  • negative MYC target
  • interaction with and activation of AKT1 and MDM2, and down-regulates TP53
  • PLSCR1 interacts with the same cysteine-rich domain of PLAC8 as do AKT1 and MDM2, whereas the PLAC8-interacting domain of PLSCR1 centers around, but does not require, a previously identified palmitoylation signal
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated by PLSCR1 (physiologic regulator of PLAC8, with a functional interdependence between PLAC8 and PLSCR1)
