Summary

GGNBP2 (gametogenetin binding protein 2, HGNC:19357) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q12, encoding Gametogenetin-binding protein 2 (Q9H3C7). May be involved in spermatogenesis. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 18.5% of cell lines).

Predicted to be involved in spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer blood vessel development; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and negative regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus.

  • LCRG1 is a novel gene localized to the tumor suppressor locus D17S800-D17S930 involved in laryngeal carcinoma. (PMID:15145523)
  • There is an essential role for ZNF403 in cell proliferation and G2/M cell-cycle transition. (PMID:22350815)
  • Results show that downregulation of RNASET2 and GGNBP2 in drug-resistant ovarian cancer tissues/cells contributes to the regulation of drug resistance in ovarian cancer. (PMID:24842157)
  • Results identified GGNBP2 as a novel tumor suppressor which is downregulated in human breast tumors and cell lines and suggest that GGNBP2 may function as a corepressor to inhibit ERa’s transcriptional activity and consequently inhibit tumorigenic potential of breast cancer cells. (PMID:27357812)
  • The effects of ZFP403 on cell proliferation and metastasis suggest that it may serve as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer. (PMID:28864131)
  • Our data demonstrate that GGNBP2 suppresses cancer aggressiveness by inhibition of IL-6/STAT3 activation in triple-negative breast cancer (PMID:30450530)
