short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as WWOX_HUMAN, WWOX, FOR, SDR41C1, WOX1. Putative oxidoreductase. Acts as a tumor suppressor and plays a role in apoptosis. Required for normal bone development (By similarity). May function synergistically with p53/TP53 to control genotoxic stress-induced cell death. Plays a role in TGFB1 signaling and TGFB1-mediated cell death. May also play a role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated cell death. Inhibits Wnt signaling, probably by sequestering DVL2 in the cytoplasm. Interacts with TP53, p73/TP73 and MAPK8. Interacts with MAPT/TAU, RUNX2 and HYAL2 (By similarity). Forms a ternary complex with TP53 and MDM2. Interacts with ERBB4, LITAF and WBP1. Interacts with DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3. May interact with FAM189B and SCOTIN. Interacts with TNK2. Interacts with TMEM207.
