Y box binding protein 1

Y box binding protein 1 also known as Y-box transcription factor or nuclease-sensitive element-binding protein 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the YBX1 is_associated_with::gene.

Clinical significance
YBX1 is a potential drug target in cancer therapy. YB-1 helps the replication of is_associated_with::adenovirus type 5, a commonly used vector in is_associated_with::gene therapy. Thus, YB-1 can cause an "oncolytic" effect in YB-1 positive cancer cells treated with adenoviruses

Interactions
Y box binding protein 1 has been shown to interact with:


 * is_associated_with::ANKRD2,
 * is_associated_with::CTCF,
 * is_associated_with::P53,
 * is_associated_with::PCNA,
 * is_associated_with::RBBP6, and
 * is_associated_with::SFRS9.
