Observations
Fibroblasts overexpressing the ING1a isoform resulted in cell cycle arrest with cells displaying a senescent-like flattened morphology, an increase in SA-heterochromatin foci and increased SA-beta-galactosidase activity. In contrast, overexpressing the ING1b isoform induced nuclear changes characteristic to apoptosis.

    Description
    This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that can induce cell growth arrest and apoptosis. The encoded protein is a nuclear protein that physically interacts with the tumor suppressor protein TP53 and is a component of the p53 signaling pathway. Reduced expression and rearrangement of this gene have been detected in various cancers. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
