GADD45G( Human )
growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gamma
Alias
CR6|DDIT2|GADD45gamma|GRP17
This gene is a member of a group of genes whose transcript levels are increased following stressful growth arrest conditions and treatment with DNA-damaging agents. The protein encoded by this gene responds to environmental stresses by mediating activation of the p38/JNK pathway via MTK1/MEKK4 kinase. The GADD45G is highly expressed in placenta.
