The function of ADNP (activity dependent neuroprotector homeobox, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000101126) is as follows. May be involved in transcriptional regulation. May mediate some of the neuroprotective peptide VIP-associated effects involving normal growth and cancer proliferation. Positively modulates WNT-beta- catenin/CTNN1B signaling, acting by regulating phosphorylation of, and thereby stabilizing, CTNNB1. May be required for neural induction and neuronal differentiation. May be involved in erythroid differentiation (By similarity). .
