Acts as a tumor suppressor and plays a role in apoptosis. Required for normal bone development (By similarity). May function synergistically with p53/TP53 to control genotoxic stress-induced cell death. Plays a role in TGFB1 signaling and TGFB1-mediated cell death. May also play a role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated cell death. Inhibits Wnt signaling, probably by sequestering DVL2 in the cytoplasm.

Plays a significant role in TGF-mediated signaling by regulating the subcellular location of SMAD2 and SMAD3 and modulating the transcriptional activity of the SMAD3/SMAD4 complex. Possibly associated with TGF-beta receptor internalization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane.
WASL
Neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) O00401 FUNCTION: Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex (, , , , , ). Involved in various processes, such as mitosis and cytokinesis, via its role in the regulation of actin polymerization (, , , , ). Together with CDC42, involved in the extension and maintenance of the formation of thin, actin-rich surface projections called filopodia . In addition to its role in the cytoplasm, also plays a role in the nucleus by regulating gene transcription, probably by promoting nuclear actin polymerization . Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression (By similarity). Plays a role in dendrite spine morphogenesis (By similarity). Decreasing levels of DNMBP (using antisense RNA) alters apical junction morphology in cultured enterocytes, junctions curve instead of being nearly linear .

ZNF423
Zinc finger protein 423 (Olf1/EBF-associated zinc finger protein) (hOAZ) (Smad- and Olf-interacting zinc finger protein) Q2M1K9 FUNCTION: Transcription factor that can both act as an activator or a repressor depending on the context. Plays a central role in BMP signaling and olfactory neurogenesis. Associates with SMADs in response to BMP2 leading to activate transcription of BMP target genes. Acts as a transcriptional repressor via its interaction with EBF1, a transcription factor involved in terminal olfactory receptor neurons differentiation; this interaction preventing EBF1 to bind DNA and activate olfactory-specific genes. Involved in olfactory neurogenesis by participating in a developmental switch that regulates the transition from differentiation to maturation in olfactory receptor neurons.
