Normal role description: TP53INP1 is a tumour suppressor gene induced with different stress conditions. TP53INP1 overexpression leads to cell cycle arrest (G1 phase) and p53-dependent or independent apoptosis. TP53INP1 interacts with p53 and two kinases (HIPK2, and PKCd). It is phosphrylated and translocates into the nucleas to continue apoptosis signalling pathways. Loss of function correlates with increasing propensity towards oncogenesis.
