- Gadd45
The Growth Arrest and DNA Damage or "gadd45"
gene s, including Gene|GADD45A (originally termed gadd45) Gene|GADD45B (originally termed MyD118), and Gene|GADD45G (originally termed CR6), are implicated as stress sensors that modulate the response ofmammal ian cells to genotoxic/physiological stress, and modulatetumor formation. Gadd45protein s interact with other proteins implicated in stress responses, includingPCNA ,p21 ,Cdc2 /CyclinB1,MEKK4 , andp38 kinase .cite journal|author=Fornace, A.J.; Jackman, J.; Hollander, M.C.; Hoffman-Liebermann, B.; & Liebermann, D.A.|title=Genotoxic-stress-response genes and growth-arrest genes: gadd, MyD, and other genes induced by treatments eliciting growth arrest|journal=Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences|volume=663|pages=139–153|year=1992|pmid=1482047] cite journal|author=Liebermann, D.A.|coauthors=Hoffman, B.|title=Myeloid differentiation (MyD)/growth arrest DNA damage (GADD) genes in tumor suppression, immunity and inflammation|journal=Leukemia|volume=16|issue=4|pages=527–541|year=2002|pmid=11960329|doi=10.1038/sj.leu.2402477]History
