SHPRH Proteins and Enzymes

SHPRH is a novel gene containing SNF2, PHD-finger, RING-finger, helicase, and linker histone domains termed SHPRH, is a possible candidate for a tumor suppressor gene. These domains are characteristic of several DNA repair proteins, transcription factors, and helicases. Mapping of this gene to 6q24, a region reported to contain a tumor suppressor locus suggests a role in tumor suppression.
