disease:Defects in ING1 are a cause of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) [MIM:275355].,function:Cooperates with p53/TP53 in the negative regulatory pathway of cell growth by modulating p53-dependent transcriptional activation. Implicated as a tumor suppressor gene.,similarity:Belongs to the ING family.,similarity:Contains 1 PHD-type zinc finger.,subunit:Interacts with TP53.,tissue specificity:Isoform 2 was expressed in all normal tissues and cells examined, as well as in all breast cancer and melanoma cell lines examined. Isoform 3 was expressed in testis, liver, and kidney, weakly expressed in colon and brain and not expressed in breast and cultured melanocytes.
