General annotation (Comments)

Function

Growth suppressor that facilitates the entry of the cell into cell cycle arrest. Functionally similar to the retinoblastoma protein it binds to and represses the activity of cell-cycle-promoting proteins such as SV40 large T antigen, adenovirus E1A, and the transcription factor E2F. Necdin also interacts with p53 and works in an additive manner to inhibit cell growth. Functions also as transcription factor and binds directly to specific guanosine-rich DNA sequences By similarity.

Subunit structure

Binds to the transactivation domains of E2F1 and p53. Binds also SV40 large T antigen and adenovirus E1A. Interacts with nucleobindin 1 and 2 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Perikaryon. Nucleus. Note: Neural perikarya, translocates to the nucleus of postmitotic neurons and interacts with the nuclear matrix.

Tissue specificity

Almost ubiquitous. Detected in fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney; in adult heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. Not detected in peripheral blood leukocytes. In brain, restricted to post-mitotic neurons.

Involvement in disease

Defects in NDN may be a cause of the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) which is a contiguous gene syndrome resulting from inactivity of the paternal copies of a number of genes on 15q11, through deletion or disruption of these genes or maternal uniparental disomy 15. The PWS syndrome is characterized by muscular hypotonia, mental retardation, short stature, obesity, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and small hands and feet.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 MAGE domain.
