Gene: ING5

Alternate names for this Gene: p28ING5

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis. This protein contains a PHD-type zinc finger. It interacts with tumor suppressor p53 and p300, a component of the histone acetyl transferase complex, suggesting a role in transcriptional regulation. Alternative splicing and the use of multiple promoters and 3' terminal exons results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q37.3

Description of this Gene: inhibitor of growth family member 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
