ANTI-CTBP2

General description

This gene produces alternative transcripts encoding two distinct proteins. One protein is a transcriptional repressor, while the other isoform is a major component of specialized synapses known as synaptic ribbons. Both proteins contain a NAD+ binding domain similar to NAD+-dependent 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. A portion of the 3′ untranslated region was used to map this gene to chromosome 21q21.3; however, it was noted that similar loci elsewhere in the genome are likely. Blast analysis shows that this gene is present on chromosome 10. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene CTBP2 (C-terminal binding protein 2) encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional co-repressor of several tumor suppressor genes resulting in enhanced cancer cell migration and invasion. Its expression is found to be upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may be a potential prognostic marker for post liver resection HCC. It is involved in several types of tumor initiation, progression and response to therapy. It is found to interact with the C-terminal region of adenovirus type 2/5 E1A protein, a region that negatively regulates tumorigenicity and the extent of oncogenic transformation.
