Official Full Name: N-myc downstream regulated 1
Also known as: GC4; RTP; DRG1; NDR1; NMSL; TDD5; CAP43; CMT4D; DRG-1; HMSNL; RIT42; TARG1; PROXY1
This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family and belongs to the α/β hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein involved in stress response, hormone response, cell growth and differentiation. The encoded protein is required for p53-mediated caspase activation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are one cause of peronealgia type 4D, and expression of this gene may be a prognostic indicator in several cancers. Alternative splicing transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
