Gene Symbol WWOX
Synonyms D16S432E | DEE28 | EIEE28 | FOR | FRA16D | HHCMA56 | PRO0128 | SCAR12 | SDR41C1 | WOX1
Gene Description WWOX, WW domain containing oxidoreductase, binds to several different proteins, including transcription factors to suppress transactivation, and thereby is involved in many cellular processes (PMID: 36271927, PMID: 24550385) such as glucose metabolism (PMID: 25012504), oxidative stress (PMID: 36364214), and apoptosis (PMID: 16219768), and acts as a dehydrogenase that catalyzes steroid substrates, likely playing a role in steroid metabolism (PMID: 36271927, PMID: 21476439). Deletion and/or promoter hypermethylation of WWOX has been identified in breast cancer (PMID: 30211123, PMID: 15674328) and lung cancer (PMID: 15674328, PMID: 20480411).
