GADD45G, CR6, DDIT2, Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein GADD45 gamma, Cytokine-responsive protein CR6, DNA damage-inducible transcript 2 protein, DDIT-2
This gene is a member of a group of genes whose transcript levels are increased following stressful growth arrest conditions and treatment with DNA-damaging agents. The protein encoded by this gene responds to environmental stresses by mediating activation of the p38/JNK pathway via MTK1/MEKK4 kinase. The GADD45G is highly expressed in placenta. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Involved in the regulation of growth and apoptosis. Mediates activation of stress-responsive MTK1/MEKK4 MAPKKK.,similarity:Belongs to the GADD45 family.,subunit:Interacts with GADD45GIP1.,
