Subunit: Interacts with WT1, via the C-terminal region. Homooligomer. Interacts also with a wide variety of proteins, such as atypical PKCs, p62, DAPK3 kinase and THAP1. Interacts with actin, AATF, BACE1, SPSB1, SPSB2 AND SPSB4. Component of a ternary complex composed of SQSTM1 and PRKCZ 1 PDB 3D structure from [IMAGE] and Proteopedia [IMAGE] for PAWR: 2JK9 (3D) [IMAGE]
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Expression is elevated in various neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer, Parkinson and Huntington diseases and stroke. Down-regulated in several cancers [IMAGE] Custom PCR Arrays for PAWR Primer Prod
Function: UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary: PAWR_HUMAN, Q96IZ0 Function: Pro-apoptopic protein capable of selectively inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, sensitizing the cells to diverse apoptotic stimuli and causing regression of tumors in animal models. Induces apoptosis in certain cancer cells by activation of the Fas prodeath pathway and coparallel inhibition of NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity. Inhibits the transcriptional activation and augments the transcriptional repression mediated by WT1. Down-regulates the anti-apoptotic protein BCL2 via its interaction with WT1. Seems also to be a transcriptional repressor by itself. May be directly involved in regulating the amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage activity of BACE1
