[Expressed most prominently in placenta, prostate, kidney, small intestine, and ovary, human NDRG1 Gene (NDRG Family, Alpha/Beta Hydrolase Superfamily) encodes ubiquitous cytoplasmic N-Myc Downstream Regulated Protein 1, also associated with the plasma membrane and nucleus. Downregulated by NMYC and rapidly induced by okadaic acid, a serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, increased NDRG1 levels are induced by an elevation of free intracellular calcium ion; cells that border lumenae show highest expression. Involved in stress responses, hormone responses, cell growth, and differentiation, NDRG1 may have a growth inhibitory role. (NCI) ( NCI )]
