Apoptosis-Stimulating of p53 Protein 2NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Apoptosis-Stimulating of p53 Protein 2;
NCIt synonyms : p53-Binding Protein 2; p53BP2; Tumor Protein p53 Binding Protein 2; Renal Carcinoma Antigen NY-REN-51; 53BP2; Bbp; TP53BP2; BCL-2 Binding Protein; Tumor Protein p53-Binding Protein-2;
NCIt definition : Apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2 (1128 aa, 126 kDa) is encoded by the human
TP53BP2 gene. This protein plays a role in cell cycle arrest and the regulation of
cellular tumor antigen p53-dependent apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2 impedes cell cycle progression beyond G2/M.
It enhances p53 trans-activation function and induces p21 (CDKN1A) expression. This
protein contains ankyrin repeats and an SH3 domain, which are required for interaction
with p53 and BCL2; TP53BP2 cannot bind both proteins simultaneously. (OMIM);
