basic FUNCTION
  • involved in negative control of cell growth,DNA repair and/or apoptosis
  • activating MEKK4 and the p38/JNK pathway in response to environmental stress
  • specific role for GADD45G in male fertility and testis development
  • regulates the thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue
  • GADD45 family proteins play a crucial role in regulating cellular stress responses and apoptosis
  • plays a critical role in metastasis of prostate and breast cancer cells (PMID

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • mediating activation of stress responsive MEKK4,MAPKKK (MAP3Kx)
  • GADD45G is a direct transcriptional target of ASCL1
  • PAX5 was found to be an epigenetically inactivated tumour suppressor that inhibits non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) proliferation and metastasis, through down-regulating the CTNNB1 pathway and up-regulating GADD45G expression
  • GADD45A and GADD45G, directly interact with CDK11A and thereby inhibit CDK11A activity, and consequentially SPDEF phosphorylation and degradation, ultimately reducing prostate cancer cell migration and invasion
  • GADD45 proteins bind the JNK kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MAP2K7) and inhibit its activity, even under normal physiological conditions

    Candidate gene
  • is a candidate gene for male infertility and 46,XY sex reversal in humans
  • Marker
  • GADD45G suppression is a poor prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Gadd45g(-/-) XY mice were born as completely sex-reversed XY-females, whereas lack of Gadd45a and/or Gadd45b did not affect primary sex determination or testis development
