Synthesized phosho peptide around human NDRG1 (Thr346)
Alternative Synonym:
Protein NDRG1 (Differentiation-related gene 1 protein) (DRG-1) (N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 protein) (Nickel-specific induction protein Cap43) (Reducing agents and tunicamycin-responsive protein) (RTP) (Rit42)
This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein involved in stress responses, hormone responses, cell growth, and differentiation. The encoded protein is necessary for p53-mediated caspase activation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D, and expression of this gene may be a prognostic indicator for several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012],
