CIP2A (cellular inhibitor of PP2A) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, a biomarker and a DNA repair gene, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Acts as an inhibitor of protein phosphatase PP2A. Promotes anchorage-independent cell growth and tumour formation by preventing dephosphorylation of MYC, thereby stabilising MYC in human malignancies. Together with TOPBP1, plays an essential role in the response to genome instability generated by the presence of acentric chromosome fragments derived from shattered chromosomes within micronuclei. Micronuclei, which are frequently found in cancer cells, consist of chromatin surrounded by their own nuclear membrane: following breakdown of the micronuclear envelope, a process associated with chromothripsis, the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex tethers chromosome fragments during mitosis to ensure clustered segregation of the fragments to a single daughter cell nucleus, facilitating re-ligation with limited chromosome scattering and loss. Location: Cytoplasm; Chromosome (UniProt). Locus 3q13.13 (HGNC).
