Background
This gene encodes an oxidative stress response protein that regulates cell death. Expression of the gene is regulated by p53 and is induced by DNA damage. The protein regulates apoptosis by inducing cytochrome c release from mitochondria. It also appears to be a key regulator of both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules. The loss of this protein correlates with uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MLYCD) gene, but the read-through transcripts are unlikely to produce a protein product.

Function
function:Regulates the differentiation and proliferation of normal cells through the regulation of cell death.,induction:By pregnancy.,miscellaneous:Loss of OSGIN1 protein disturbs the balance between cell growth, differentiation, and cell death in normal tissue, resulting in uncontrolled growth and formation of tumors.,similarity:Belongs to the OKL38 family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Highest expression in the ovary, testis, kidney, and liver.,
Other name

Tissue expression
Ubiquitous. Highest expression in the ovary, testis, kidney, skeletal muscle and liver (PubMed:11459809, PubMed:14570898, PubMed:15569677). Weakly expressed in spleen, heart, kidney, and pancreas (PubMed:15569677). Highly expressed in tumor cells (at protein level) (PubMed:15569677).
