Description

General description

Constitutive coactivator of PPAR-gamma-like protein 1, also known as Oxidative stress-associated Src activator or Protein FAM120A, and encoded by the gene name FAM120A or OSSA, was recently detected within the Purα-containing mRNA-protein complex in the brain. As a novel RNA-binding protein, FAM120A is a critical component of the oxidative stress-induced survival signaling. It may participate in mRNA transport in the cytoplasm. FAM120A activates src family kinases and acts as a scaffolding protein enabling src family kinases to phosphorylate and activate PI3-kinase. FAM120A is highly expressed in scirrhous-type gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric mucosa. FAM120A protects cells from apoptosis through activation of SRKs in response to oxidative stress. Blocking of the survival signaling mediated by FAM120A, which sensitizes the cancer cells to stress-induced apoptosis, may be a novel therapeutic approach for gastric scirrhous carcinoma cells.
