With a molecular mass of approximately 64 kDa it plays an important role in regulating gene expression and inhibiting cellular transformation. PDCD4 is expressed in various tissues including the lung kidney and heart where it modulates different cellular pathways. Its ability to bind RNA and interact with eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) highlights its important role in translation regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPDCD4 inhibits translation by binding to the eIF4A RNA helicase blocking the translation initiation complex. This action stabilizes mRNA and reduces protein synthesis impacting processes such as cell growth and proliferation. Although PDCD4 functions mainly as a monomer it can also interact with other proteins to form complexes that enhance its regulatory activity. More specifically its role in controlling AP-1 transcription factor activity steps into the spotlight in influencing cellular responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPDCD4 primarily interacts with signaling mechanisms related to apoptosis and inflammation. The protein is integral in the mTOR signaling pathway which governs cell growth in response to nutrient availability. PDCD4 also impacts the PI3K\/AKT pathway linking its activity to cellular survival and metabolism. Through these pathways PDCD4 associates with proteins such as p53 and NF-kB connecting it to broader cellular and molecular networks involved in maintaining cellular integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPDCD4 is significantly implicated in cancer progression and inflammation-related conditions. Its downregulation or loss frequently occurs in several cancers including breast and lung cancer leading to unchecked cell proliferation and tumor growth. PDCD4's interaction with proteins like c-Myc further demonstrates its importance in oncogenic pathways. Additionally its role in inflammation positions it as a critical factor in disorders such as Crohn's disease where abnormal inflammatory responses are prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845109797033,"sku":"ab261833","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab261833","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
