TP53BP2 tumor protein p53 binding protein 2

Gene ID: 7159, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BBP; 53BP2; ASPP2; P53BP2; PPP1R13A

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the ASPP (apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53) family of p53 interacting proteins. The protein contains four ankyrin repeats and an SH3 domain involved in protein-protein interactions. It is localized to the perinuclear region of the cytoplasm, and regulates apoptosis and cell growth through interactions with other regulatory molecules including members of the p53 family. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
