Programmed cell death protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PDCD4 gene.[5][6] It is one of the targets of an oncomiR, MIRN21.[7]

Function

This gene encodes a protein localized to the nucleus in proliferating cells. Expression of this gene is modulated by cytokines in natural killer and T cells. The gene product is thought to play a role in apoptosis but the specific role has not yet been determined. Two transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified.[6]

Interactions

PDCD4 has been shown to interact with RPS13,[8] ribosomal protein L5,[8] p62, LC3 and Ubiquitin [9]
