    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an important role in tumorigenesis
  • androgen-regulated NEDD4-binding protein, exhibiting cell growth inhibitory function
  • seems to act as a molecule involved in the negative feedback loop of TGFB signaling
  • transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced transmembrane protein that is overexpressed in several cancers
  • functions in breast cancer as a molecular switch that converts TGF-beta from a tumor suppressor to a tumor promoter
  • its functions depend on its SMAD2/3 binding motif
  • may promote AR-negative prostate cancer cell proliferation through CDKN1A
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • PMEPA1-AR degradation pathway may represent a new androgen-dependent mechanism for regulating AR levels in prostate epithelial cells
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting NEDD4 (role in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)
  • direct transcriptional target of the androgen receptor (AR) (negatively regulates the stability of AR protein by enhancing AR ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation through NEDD4)
  • can interact with either SMAD2 or SMAD3 via its SMAD interaction motif to sequester TGFB/SMAD signaling
  • cell & other
