PHLDA3

domain:The PH domain binds phosphoinositides with a broad specificity. It competes with the PH domain of AKT1 and directly interferes with AKT1 binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3), preventing AKT1 association to membrane lipids and subsequent activation of AKT1 signaling. p53/TP53-regulated repressor of Akt/AKT1 signaling. Represses AKT1 by preventing AKT1-binding to membrane lipids, thereby inhibiting AKT1 translocation to the cellular membrane and activation. Contributes to p53/TP53-dependent apoptosis by repressing AKT1 activity. Its directs transcription regulation by p53/TP53 may explain how p53/TP53 can negatively regulate AKT1. May acts as a tumor suppressor. induction:By p53/TP53; expression is directly activated by p53/TP53. p53/TP53 phosphorylation on 'Ser-15' is required to activate the PHLDA3 promoter. miscellaneous:PHLDA3 genomic locus is frequently observed in primary lung cancers, suggesting a role in tumor suppression. Belongs to the PHLDA3 family. Contains 1 PH domain. tissue specificity:Widely expressed with lowest expression in liver and spleen.
