    basic FUNCTION
  • protein kinase inhibitor protein that regulates the activity of the Raf/MEK/ERK module
  • inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of MEK by RAF1
  • may be involved in the function of the presynaptic cholinergic neurons of the central nervous system
  • increases the production of choline acetyltransferase
  • negative modulator of the Raf-MEK-ERK signaling pathway
  • conserved pocket may constitute a novel phosphoamino-acid binding motif and is absolutely required for PEBP1 function
  • novel component of the SNAI1 transcriptional regulatory network important for the progression and metastasis of cancer
  • negatively regulates the MAP kinase (MAPK), G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2, and NF-kappaB signalling cascades
  • modulates cell cycle kinetics and motility
  • physiologic inhibitor of RAF1 kinase and nuclear factor kappaB signaling that represses tumor invasion and metastasis
  • prevents cilia formation and is associated with CEP290-mediated photoreceptor degeneration
  • potentially modulates the localization of a distinct set of proteins required for cilia assembly and maintenance
  • its ability to interact with RAB8A suggests its involvement in the regulation of docking and transport of membrane protein-containing vesicles in photoreceptors
  • regulates growth and differentiation signaling of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), GRK2 and NF-kappaB pathways each of which regulates cytotrophoblast differentiation and normal placental development
  • novel factor expressed in cytotrophoblast cells where it likely regulates cell migration
  • positive feedback loop between PEBP1 and TBK1 that is essential for type I interferon production in anti-viral innate immunity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide, other,
  • ATP binding
  • opioids
  • phosphatodylethanolamine
  • protein
  • interacting with RAF1 (binds to RAF1 interfering with binding of the MEK substrate and potentially also RAF1 activation))
  • negatively correlated with the expression of SNAI1 zinc-transcriptional repressor, a key modulator of normal and neoplastic epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program
  • binds GSK3 proteins and maintains GSK3B protein levels and its active form
  • binds to RAF1 kinase and inhibits the RAS-RAF1-MEK1/2- ERK1/2 pathway
  • interacting with RAB8A (interacts preferably with the GDP-bound form of RAB8A in the retina)
  • inhibits breast tumour metastasis in part via MIRLET7A1
  • RAF1 and ADRBK1 are direct interaction partners of PEBP1 (PEBP1 dimer formation controls its target switch from RAF1 to ADRBK1)
  • inhibits syndecan-2 (SDC2), which is aberrantly expressed in breast cancer, via downregulation of HMGA2
  • PEBP1 is essential for TBK1 activation and type I interferon production triggered by viral infection
  • cell & other
