p33ING1 displays characteristics of a tumour suppressor protein and can induce cell growth arrest and apoptosis. p33ING1 is a nuclear protein and acute expression of p33 ING1 inhibits cell growth. p33ING1 physically interacts with the tumor suppressor protein TP53 and is a component of the p53 signaling pathway. Mutation of p33ING1 gene occurs in neuroblastoma cells and reduced expression is observed in some breast cancer cell lines. It has been proposed that p33ING1 can act as a potent growth regulator in normal and in established cells and plays a role as a candidate tumour suppressor gene whose inactivation may contribute to the development of cancers.

ING1 was identified as an inhibitor of growth and has been described as a tumor suppressor. Furthermore, the expression of ING1 is induced in senescent cells and antisense ING1 extends the proliferative life span of primary human fibroblasts. Cooperation of
