NCIt definition : Zinc finger protein PLAGL1 (463 aa, 51 kDa) is encoded by the human PLAGL1 gene.
This protein is involved in cell cycle arrest, promotion of apoptosis and transcriptional
regulation.;
NCIt note : Pleomorphic Adenoma-Like Protein 1 contains 7 C2H2-type zinc fingers and inhibits
cell proliferation through induction of the p53 apoptosis and cell cycle arrest pathways.
PLAGL1 also regulates pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type 1 receptor,
a potent insulin secretagogue and mediator of autocrine control of insulin secretion
in the pancreatic islets.;
