Activity summary

NDRG1 or N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 1 also known as Cap43 Drg-1 and RTP is a protein that plays key roles in various cellular processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 43 kDa. NDRG1 is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in the brain heart liver and kidney. The protein also exhibits a significant presence in cytoplasm but can translocate to the nucleus depending on the cellular context and stimuli.

Biological function summary

NDRG1 functions in cell growth regulation stress response and apoptosis influencing differentiation and potentially acting as a tumor suppressor. It does not directly form part of a larger protein complex but interacts with other proteins to mediate its effects. Its involvement in cellular homeostasis places it as a significant player in maintaining normal cell physiology.

Pathways

NDRG1 is involved in the hypoxia and stress response pathways regulating cellular responses to low oxygen and oxidative stress. It interacts with HIF-1α a critical regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia and also modulates PTEN and p53 proteins that are important for cell cycle control and apoptosis. These pathways and interactions reflect its function in cellular regulatory networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

NDRG1 has associations with cancer and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D. In cancer abnormal expression of NDRG1 has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis where it interacts with proteins like E-cadherin to influence cell adhesion and migration. In Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease mutations in the NDRG1 gene disrupt normal nerve function pointing to its importance in peripheral nervous system health.
