N-Myc down-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been reported to be a direct transcriptional target of p53. NDRG1 appears to play a necessary, but not sufficient, role in apoptosis, though its exact mechanism of action remains unknown. NDRG1 expression is elevated in non-small cell lung cancer cells, promoting cancer growth and reducing cytotoxicity to certain anti-cancer drugs. NDRG1 is also elevated in solid tumors and is recognized as a negative prognostic indicator in breast cancer. Elevated NDRG1 expression is correlated with disease recurrence and metastasis in breast cancer. NDRG1 is phosphorylated by Sgk1, which itself is activated by mTORC2. Phosphorylation of NDRG1 at Thr346 promotes cellular differentiation in adipocytes.
Predicted to work with mouse, rat and other homologues.
