Abstract:
Prohibitin 1 (PHB1), a pleiotropic protein in the cell, has been implicated in the regulation of proliferation, apoptosis, transcription, mitochondrial protein folding, and as a cell-surface receptor. This diverse array of functions of PHB1 is attributed to the cell type studied and its subcellular localization. This review discusses recent data that indicate a diverse role of PHB1 in disease pathogenesis and suggest that targeting PHB1 may be a potential therapeutic option for treatment of diseases including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, and obesity. These diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and therefore, the role of PHB1 in both responses will also be discussed.
