PTTG1IP
Description
The PTTG1IP (PTTG1 interacting protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 21.
PTTG1IP is a protein that is found in many human tissues, but its exact role is still unknown. It interacts with PTTG1, a protein that is involved in cell growth and development. PTTG1IP helps move PTTG1 into the nucleus of cells, where it can turn on genes that control cell growth. PTTG1IP may also play a role in cancer. It is found at higher levels in pituitary tumors than in normal pituitary tissue. It can also cause thyroid cells to grow too much, which can lead to the formation of tumors. When PTTG1IP is expressed in mice, it can cause tumors to form. Overall, PTTG1IP is a protein that is involved in cell growth and development and may play a role in cancer.
PTTG1IP is also known as C21orf1, C21orf3, PBF, PTTG1IP1.
