    text
  • mainly cytoplasmic location
  • basic FUNCTION
  • is thought to have a role in cell survival in neural progenitor cells and to suppress autophagy, a process that needs to be tightly controlled in breast cells during normal development, tissue differentiation, and response to stress
  • plays a critical role in the induction of starvation-induced autophagy as a specific member of PIK3C3 Complex I
  • modulates autophagy via regulation of PI3K-III and prevents ER stress-mediated cytotoxicity and liver injury
  • is potentially involved in autophagosome biogenesis
  • likely expression of NRFB2 might play a role in transformation or progression of transformed breast cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component in the specific PI3K-III complex and a modulator of PI3K-III activity
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction partner of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA), and exhibits a gene activation function in mammalian cells
  • NRBF2-BECN1 interaction required the N terminus of NRBF2
  • NRBF2 may interact with the ATG14-containing BECN1-PIK3C3 protein complex to modulate protein-protein interactions within the complex, leading to suppression of PIK3C3 activity, autophagosome biogenesis, and autophagic flux

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Nrbf2-deficient mice develop focal liver necrosis and ductular reaction, accompanied by impaired Atg14L-linked Vps34 activity and autophagy, although the mice show no increased mortality
