Official Full Name: interferon gamma inducible protein 16
Also known as: PYHIN2; IFNGIP1
This gene encodes a member of the HIN-200 (hematopoietic interferon-inducible nuclear antigen with 200 amino acid repeats) family of cytokines. The encoded protein contains domains involved in DNA binding, transcriptional regulation, and protein-protein interactions. The protein localizes to the nucleoplasm and nucleolus and interacts with p53 and retinoblastoma-1. It regulates p53 function and inhibits cell growth through Ras/Raf signaling pathway. Alternative splice transcript variants of this gene have been found to encode distinct isoforms.
