  • CATEGORY enzyme , protooncogene
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • promoting cell prolifeeration and preventing cell death
  • can inactivate BAD by phosphorylating its Ser(112) in colon cancer cells and thus may prevent apoptosis and promote progression of colon cancer
  • promote cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis by down-regulating CDKN1B expression at both transcriptional and posttranslational levels
  • PIM1, PIM2, PIM3 have been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis, metabolism, cell cycle, and homing and migration, which has led to the postulation of these proteins as interesting targets for anticancer drug discovery
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    cell life, antiapoptosis
