Contradictory Role of Gadd45β in Liver Diseases
ABSTRACT There are three homologous proteins (α, β and γ) in the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 (Gadd45) family. These proteins act as cellular responders to physiological and environmental stimuli. Gadd45β plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Liver injury and growth stimulation increase expression of Gadd45β, which promotes
