Facts about Paternally-expressed gene 3 protein.
Induces apoptosis in Collaboration with SIAH1A.
Acts as a mediator between p53/TP53 and BAX at a neuronal death pathway that is triggered by DNA damage.Acts synergistically with TRAF2 and inhibits TNF induced apoptosis through activation of NF-kappa-B (By similarity). Possesses a tumor suppressing activity in glioma cells.

Brain, glial cells, astrocytes, embryo, placenta, testis, ovary and uterus. In the placenta it is found in the layer of villous cytotrophoblast cells while in the ovary it is found in the cells of the ovarian stroma including the thecal layers around the follicles. Expression is highly repressed in glioma cell lines.
