The encoded protein may suppress cell growth by inducing apoptotic cell death through the caspase 9 and mitochondrial pathways. This gene is located on human chromosome 11q24, a region frequently altered in cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 1, 3, 7, and 8. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]. * **UniProt Summary**: Acts as a negative growth regulator via p53-mediated apoptosis pathway. Regulates formation of degradative autolysosomes during autophagy (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |EI24| |macroautophagy| |negative regulation of cell growth| |nuclear membrane| |negative regulation of growth| |process utilizing autophagic mechanism| |autophagy| |regulation of cell growth| |regulation of growth| |apoptotic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |Golgi apparatus| |endoplasmic reticulum| |programmed cell death| |cell death| |cellular catabolic process| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp151|SGC0946 7μM R03 exp151]]|-1.88| |[[:results:exp340|BN82002 4μM R07 exp340]]|1.71| |[[:results:exp319|ABT-702 5μM plus Dimethyloxaloylglycine 11μM R07 exp319]]|1.78| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
