PHLDA1 is a growth-factor-responsive gene involved in cell death; it is high in benign moles and falls as melanoma progresses.
UniProt describes PHLDA1 (TDAG51) as an apoptosis regulator whose protein is strong in benign naevi and progressively lost in melanoma. The PHLDA family genes are induced downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase and MAPK signalling, which puts them among the MAPK-responsive output genes read from expression.
In plain words · PHLDA1 is a growth-factor-responsive gene involved in cell death; it is high in benign moles and falls as melanoma progresses.
PHLDA1 is a growth-factor-responsive gene involved in cell death; it is high in benign moles and falls as melanoma progresses.
Involved in regulation of apoptosis, possibly detachment-mediated cell death, and in the anti-apoptotic effects of IGF1; widely expressed, strongly in benign melanocytic naevi and progressively reduced in primary and metastatic melanoma at the protein level (UniProt Q8WV24).
