TP53INP2 tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 2

Gene ID: 58476, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DOR; PIGU; PINH; PIG-U; C20orf110; dJ1181N3.1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene promotes autophagy and is essential for proper autophagosome formation and processing. In addition, the encoded protein can enhance rDNA transcription by helping in the assembly of the POLR1/RNA polymerase I preinitiation complex. Finally, this protein serves as a transcriptional activator for some genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
