DRG: Published articles Mouse DRG1 was identified by a subtractive cdna cloning approach that is expressed at high levels in developing mouse brain (Kumar et al. 1992; Sazuka et al. 1992). Human DRG2 was originally identified due to its down-regulation in fibroblasts transformed by SV40 (Schenker et al. 1994). Fish DRG2 was increased by rhabdovirus infection (Lee et al. 1998). Mouse and human DRG1 was found to interact specifically with the SCL (TAL-1) oncogene (Mahajan et al. 1996; Zhao et al. 1998). The DRG1 and the DRG2 mrna are widely expressed in human and mouse tissues and show a very similar distribution pattern (Li & Trueb 2000). Overexpression of DRG2 increases G2/M phase cells and decreases sensitivity to nocodazole-induced apoptosis. (Song et al. 2004; Ko et al. 2004) DRG family regulatory protein (DFRP) 1 and DFRP2, which regulate expression of DRG proteins through specific binding (Ishikawa et al. 2005) Transcription factor Sp1 regulates basal transcription of the human DRG2 gene. (Kim et al. 2011) Overexpression of developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2) increases bone loss. (Ke et al. 2013)
