PHB1 prohibitin 1

Gene ID: 5245, updated on 10-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PHB; BAP32; HEL-215; HEL-S-54e

Summary

This gene is evolutionarily conserved, and its product is proposed to play a role in human cellular senescence and tumor suppression. Antiproliferative activity is reported to be localized to the 3' UTR, which is proposed to function as a trans-acting regulatory RNA. Several pseudogenes of this gene have been identified. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
