TP53AIP1

Also known as P53AIP1, tumor protein p53 regulated apoptosis inducing protein 1

p53-regulated apoptosis-inducing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53AIP1 gene.

Gene data

TP53AIP1

Name: tumor protein p53 regulated apoptosis inducing protein 1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: P53AIP1

This gene is specifically expressed in the thymus, and encodes a protein that is localized to the mitochondrion. The expression of this gene is inducible by p53, and it is thought to play an important role in mediating p53-dependent apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011].
