Anti-FIP200

The protein encoded by this gene interacts with signaling pathways to coordinately regulate cell growth, cell proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and cell migration. This tumor suppressor also enhances retinoblastoma 1 gene expression in cancer cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Protein function: Involved in autophagy (PubMed:21775823). Regulates early events but also late events of autophagosome formation through direct interaction with Atg16L1 (PubMed:23392225). Required for the formation of the autophagosome-like double-membrane structure that surrounds the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) during S.typhimurium infection and subsequent xenophagy. Involved in repair of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, which subsequently improves cell survival by decreasing apoptosis. Inhibits PTK2/FAK1 and PTK2B/PYK2 kinase activity, affecting their downstream signaling pathways (PubMed:10769033, PubMed:12221124). Plays a role as a modulator of TGF-beta-signaling by restricting substrate specificity of RNF111. Functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor (PubMed:12095676). Is a potent regulator of the RB1 pathway through induction of RB1 expression (PubMed:14533007). Plays a crucial role in muscular differentiation (PubMed:12163359). Plays an indispensable role in fetal hematopoiesis and in the regulation of neuronal homeostasis. [The UniProt Consortium]
