    basic FUNCTION
  • may participate in activation of the NF- kappa-B and MAPK pathways
  • is a BMP4-regulated modulator of Wnt signaling essential for proper response of telencephalic stem cells to canonical Wnt3a signaling
  • a possible functional role for CXXC5 in forebrain development
  • having regulatory function in both normal and tumoral myelopoiesis (Pendino 2009)
  • physiological function of CXXC5 in nephrogenesis might be conserved in mammals (Kim 2010)
  • plays a crucial role in ATM-p53 signaling in response to DNA damage (Kim 2010)
  • is a negative regulator of the Wnt/CTNNB1 pathway involved in hair regrowth and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis via an interaction with Dishevelled
  • may act as a tumor suppressor by promoting TGFbeta signaling via a positive feedback loop
  • function of CXXC5 in hepatocellular carcinoma development
  • CXXC5 plays an important role in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis
  • important role for CXXC5 as a suppressor of longitudinal bone growth involving growth plate activity
  • is a regulator of the pluripotency network genes and TET enzymes in ESCs
  • CXXC-type zinc finger epigenetic regulator, playing
  • a role in monocyte development
    CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • CXXC5 forms a complex with NANOG, POU5F1, TET1, and TET2 and facilitates their proper recruitment to regulatory regions of pluripotency and TET genes in ESCs to positively regulate their transcription
  • INTERACTION
    DNA DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • Axin2 and Wnt3a
  • physically interacts with ATM and is required for DNA damage-induced ATM phosphorylation but not its recruitment to chromatin (Kim 2010)
  • interacts with Dishevelled via its C-terminal CXXC zinc finger and Dishevelled binding domains and potently inhibits WNT/beta-catenin signaling (Kim 2010)
  • NUDT21 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation, metastasis and tumorigenesis, at least in part, by suppressing PSMB2 and CXXC5
  • is able to bind to DNA and act as a transcription factor and epigenetic factor through protein-protein interactions
  • CXXC5 binds to the chromatin and is enriched at promoters and enhancers of TET1, TET2, and pluripotency genes
