(Killin, p53-Regulated DNA Replication Inhibitor (KLLN))
DNA-binding protein involved in S phase checkpoint control-coupled apoptosis by mediating p53/TP53-induced apoptosis. Has the ability to inhibit DNA synthesis and S phase arrest coupled to apoptosis. Has affinity to both double- and single- stranded DNA.
