Protein DEPP

Protein DEPP also known as decidual protein induced by progesterone (DEPP) and fasting-induced gene protein (FIG) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the DEPP is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The expression of this gene is induced by is_associated_with::fasting as well as by is_associated_with::progesterone. The protein encoded by this gene contains a t-synaptosome-associated protein receptor (is_associated_with::SNARE) is_associated_with::coiled-coil homology domain and a is_associated_with::peroxisomal targeting signal. Production of the encoded protein leads to is_associated_with::phosphorylation and activation of the is_associated_with::transcription factor is_associated_with::ELK1.
