| Function |
May be involved in cell cycle progression through the regulation of cyclin D1 expression. May participate in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by promoting hepatocellular growth and survival. May play an important role in development of gastric cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12082552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17217616}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12082552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17217616}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12082552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17217616}. Note=In epithelial cells localized predominantly in the cytoplasm and occasionally in nuclei.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Strongly expressed in hepatitis B virus- infected liver and in HCC cells. Also highly expressed in well- differentiated gastric cancer tissues and various gastric cancer cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12082552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17217616}.
