PELP1 proline, glutamate and leucine rich protein 1

Gene ID: 27043, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MNAR; P160

Summary

This gene encodes a transcription factor which coactivates transcription of estrogen receptor responsive genes and corepresses genes activated by other hormone receptors or sequence-specific transcription factors. Expression of this gene is regulated by both members of the estrogen receptor family. This gene may be involved in the progression of several types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
