    basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing a role in renal development
  • involved in the repair of the kidney after ischemia- reperfusion or folic acid administration
  • blocking TP53-MDM2 interactiona, activating TP53 in tumors and inducing massive apoptosis ( candidate for anticancer drugs that targets tumors with wild-type TP53)
  • involved in the development of follicular adenomas
  • possesses important functions for the suppression of gastric carcinogenesis as a novel functional tumor-suppressor gene
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
